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

Background and Aim: Non-alcohol fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a metabolic disorder that represents the hepatic manifestation of systemic process, and is a strong risk factor for diabetes Meletus, whereas the presence of DM increases the severity of NAFLD/NASH and its progression. Data on the impact of diabetes on NASH phenotype is sparse from northern India. We studied and compared the clinical profile of NALFD in the presence and absence of DM and the effect of diabetes on NASH. Methods: We did a cross-sectional analysis of data from NAFLD patients (n = 90) who were divided into diabetic and non-diabetic cohorts and their respective demographic, biochemical, imaging and histological features were recorded and compared. Results: Out of 90 patients, 53.3% were females with a mean age of 44 ± 12 years. The mean BMI and WHR of the study cohort were 28.9 ± 3.4 and 1.01 ± 0.15, respectively. The current study showed that 35.8% were diabetics. The mean age and WHR were 52 ± 11 years vs 40 ± 10 years and 1.1 ± 0.17 vs 0.99 ± 0.09, respectively, in diabetic and non-diabetic NAFLD patients. Non-invasive fibrosis scores, including BARD (2.8 vs 1.73), FIB-4 (3.4 vs 2.2) and NFS (0.97 vs -1.13), were significantly higher in diabetic NAFLD compared to non-diabetic NAFLD ( Conclusion: Despite the small no of cases, we should conclude that there is a bidirectional relationship between NAFLD and DM where the progression of one increases the rate of progression of other. Diabetic patients have higher risk of NASH and hence increased risk of liver related mortality and should be screened early for NAFLD/NASH.
