1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Background: Fatty liver disease (FLD) is a common comorbidity of psoriasis and is often referred to as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). However, the role of inflammation or insulin resistance (IR) in FLD is inconclusive. The study aims to explore whether FLD in psoriasis patients is more related to insulin resistance or systemic inflammation level. Methods: Data for this study were collected from the Shanghai Psoriasis Effectiveness Evaluation Cohort, a prospective cohort that examines psoriasis characteristics in the Chinese population. IR was assessed using the triglyceride glucose (TyG) and TyG-body mass index (TyG-BMI) indicators. Systemic non-specific inflammation was assessed using the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), derived neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (dNLR), and systemic immune inflammation index (SII). Results: The analysis included a total of 647 patients. Subsequent logistic regression analysis revealed that NLR, dNLR, and SII were not significantly associated with FLD in psoriasis patients, while TyG and TyG-BMI showed significant associations with FLD. Subgroup analysis indicated that in the majority of subgroups, TyG and TyG-BMI were significantly associated with FLD, particularly TyG-BMI. Excluding individuals with methotrexate and acitretin resulted in consistent findings with the main analysis. Further analysis revealed a significantly higher diagnosis rate of metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) compared to NAFLD. Conclusions: Metabolic factors play a crucial role in FLD in patients with psoriasis, and TyG and TyG-BMI are potential predictors of FLD. Therefore, MAFLD can be recommend as a term to describe FLD in psoriasis patients. Trial registration: https://www.chictr.org.cn/showproj.html?proj=58256, identifier ChiCTR2000036186.
