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

backgroundThe diagnosis of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) requires at least one of five cardiometabolic criteria. It is unclear whether these criteria can be used as predictors and treatment targets for complications including liver-related events and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE).

aimsTo investigate the relationship between cardiometabolic criteria and complications.

methodsWe conducted a nationwide, population-based study of 979,352 patients with MASLD. We investigated relationships between a number of criteria at baseline and liver-related events or MACE risks. In a separate longitudinal analysis, we included patients with five criteria at baseline and investigated the relationship between improving the criteria and the incidence of complications after 1 year.

resultsThe cumulative incidence of MACE, but not liver-related events, increased with increasing baseline cardiometabolic criteria. In the longitudinal study, multivariable analysis using patients with five criteria (no improvement) as the reference, adjusted hazard ratios (95% confidence interval) of MACE in patients with 4, 3, 2, and 0-1 criteria (1 to 4-5 criteria improvement) were 0.55 (0.52-0.58, p < 0.001), 0.20 (0.17-0.22, p < 0.001), 0.13 (0.11-0.16, p < 0.001), and 0.06 (0.02-0.3, p < 0.001), respectively. The risk of MACE decreased as the cardiometabolic criteria improved. There was no significant association between improvement of the criteria and liver-related events.

conclusionsCardiometabolic criteria can be used as predictors and treatment targets for cardiovascular event risk in MASLD. Developing predictors and therapeutic targets for liver-related events is a future challenge.
