The Relationship of Fatty Liver with Body Composition Indices in Individuals with Metabolic Disorders - A Cross-Sectional 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
Objective: In this study, it was aimed to screen fatty liver in individuals with metabolic disorders, and to investigate the use of some anthropometric calculations and body composition indices in demonstrating fatty liver disease. Methods: The cross-sectional study included 224 participants with metabolic diseases. Anthropometric measurements of the participants were measured. Waist/Height ratio, Rohrer Index, Broca-Katsura Index, Relative Fat Mass (RFM), Body Roundness Index (BRI), A Body Shape Index (ABSI) were calculated. The presence of qualitative steatosis was evaluated abdominal ultrasonography. As a result of all analyzes, p <0.05 was accepted as significant. Results: The mean age of the 224 participants included in the study was 55.1±10.6 (min=23, max=83) years. 84 (37.5%) of the participants were female and 140 (62.5%) were male. Steatosis was detected on ultrasonography in 142 (63.4%) of the participants. Waist/Height ratio, Rohrer index, Broca-Katsura index, RFM, BRI, BMI and waist circumference were found to be significantly higher in participants with steatosis (p<0.05). According to the ROC analysis, BRI cut-off value of 4.6 were found to be significant in detecting steatosis. Conclusions: As a result of our study, we found that various body composition indices, especially BRI, were associated with fatty liver. Especially in female, it was seen that screening of fatty liver with cut-off values of body composition indices, and confirmation by ultrasonography, if necessary, may enable early diagnosis. In male, it was seen that body composition indices and fatty liver could not be determined directly, only BMI and waist circumference were indicative.
