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/Aims: Cholecystectomy, while generally safe with low perioperative morbidity and mortality, has been linked to an increase in metabolic disorders. Metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) is a globally prevalent condition that leads to both hepatic and systemic complications. This study aimed to investigate the association between cholecystectomy and MAFLD. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was designed to evaluate the relationship between cholecystectomy and MAFLD. Metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease was defined by the presence of hepatic steatosis in combination with any of the following conditions: diabetes mellitus (fasting plasma glucose ≥126 mg/dL), overweight (body mass index (BMI) ≥25 kg/m2), or metabolic dysregulation. Results: A total of 163 participants with BMI ≥25 kg/m2, including consecutive cholecystectomized (N = 83) and non-cholecystectomized (N = 80) subjects, were included. The prevalence of MAFLD was found in 64 out of 83 (77.1%) cholecystectomized patients and in 30 out of 80 (37.5%) non-cholecystectomized subjects (P < .001). When age, gender, BMI, exercise habits, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and cholecystectomy status were included in regression analyses, we found that only BMI [odds ratio (OR) = 1.155 (95% CI: 1.040-1.283)] and cholecystectomy [OR = 4.540 (95% CI: 2.200-9.370)] were independently associated with MAFLD (both P < .01). ROC analysis identified 10 years as the cut-off, with MAFLD risk being 2.7-7.3 times higher in patients with cholecystectomy for ≤10 and >10 years. Conclusion: In our study, MAFLD was found to be 4.5 times more likely in cholecystectomized patients compared to those without cholecystectomy, with a significant increase in frequency observed after 10 years. These results suggest that cholecystectomized patients should be monitored for MAFLD.
