Liver Fibrosis and Cirrhosis in Patients with Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver with and without History of Cholecystectomy: A Pilot Study.

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
Background: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is one of the most common chronic liver diseases in the world. Previous studies revealed that cholecystectomy may be considered a risk factor for the development of NAFLD. The aim of this study was to compare the amount of liver fibrosis, determined by elastography, between patients with NAFLD with and without a history of cholecystectomy. Methods: In this descriptive-analytical cross-sectional study, 50 patients with NAFLD were divided into two groups: one with a history of cholecystectomy and the other without. No significant differences were found between these two groups in terms of age or sex distribution. Liver fibrosis was measured for all patients using an elastography imaging system. Subsequently, the data related to liver fibrosis, along with the demographic information of the patients, were statistically analyzed using SPSS software version 22. Results: The mean elastography score in all patients was 10.66±12.18 kPa (the elasticity scale ranging from 3.80 to 66.40 kPa). The group with a history of cholecystectomy had a significantly higher mean elastography score (13.39±16.20 kPa) compared with the group without cholecystectomy (7.93±4.99 kPa) ( Conclusion: The mean elastography score of patients with NAFLD with a history of cholecystectomy was approximately twice as high as that of non-cholecystectomy patients.
