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.
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
Aim: After pancreaticoduodenectomy, 20-40% of patients develop steatotic liver disease (SLD), and steatohepatitis can be a problem. Although patatin-like phospholipase domain-containing 3 protein (PNPLA3) and transmembrane 6 superfamily member 2 (TM6SF2) polymorphisms are involved in SLD and steatohepatitis development, whether this is the case after pancreaticoduodenectomy is unclear. Methods and Results: Forty-three patients with pancreatic cancer who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy at our hospital between April 1, 2018, and March 31, 2021, were included. We extracted DNA from noncancerous areas of residual specimens after pancreaticoduodenectomy and determined PNPLA3 and TM6SF2 gene polymorphisms using real-time polymerase chain reaction. SLD was defined as a liver with an attenuation value of ≤40 HU or a liver-to-spleen ratio of ≤0.9 on computed tomography. We defined high hepatic fibrosis indexes (HFI) instead of steatohepatitis as a Fibrosis-4 index of ≥2.67 or nonalcoholic fatty liver disease fibrosis score of ≥0.675 in patients with SLD. The cumulative incidence of SLD ( Conclusion: The TM6SF2 minor allele may contribute to steatohepatitis development after pancreaticoduodenectomy.
