Prevalence of Clinically Significant Liver Fibrosis as Measured by Transient Elastography due to Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease in Indian Individuals with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.
Article in Indian journal of endocrinology and metabolism. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Introduction: There is high prevalence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D), and available evidence suggests higher prevalence of NASH and advanced stages of fibrosis among T2D. Data regarding prevalence of clinically significant liver fibrosis (CSLF) in individuals with T2D is scarce. We investigated the prevalence of transient elastography (TE)-proven CSLF among patients of T2D attending a diabetes clinic at a tertiary care center. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive evaluation study of 603 consecutive adults with T2D was conducted to detect CSLF using TE. Steatosis was diagnosed using a controlled attenuation parameter >237 dB/m. Results: The prevalence of CSLF was 22.7%, and the prevalence of steatosis was 58.9% in our study. A higher body mass index (BMI) ( Conclusion: CSLF is highly prevalent in T2D patients attending a diabetes clinic at a tertiary care center, and the majority of such individuals have normal transaminase levels. Higher BMI, AST, and ALT values and lower platelet counts are associated with liver fibrosis.
