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

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) are recognized risk factors for dyslipidemia. Current prediction models that rely solely on dyslipidemia polygenic risk score (PRS) have certain limitations. We aimed to validate simple indexes for NAFLD and NASH as predictors of dyslipidemia using the PRS. This study utilized cohort data from an urban population-based dataset comprising 48,263 South Koreans. The incidence of dyslipidemia was higher in men than in women (32.4% and 27.8%; p < 0.001). The PRS model predicted dyslipidemia more accurately in men (AUROC [95% confidence intervals]: 0.645 [0.636-0.754]). Notably, integrating the fatty liver index (FLI) and fibrotic NASH index (FNI) with the PRS model resulted in the highest accuracy in diagnosing dyslipidemia, particularly in men (AUROC [95% confidence intervals]: 0.704 [0.698-0.711]). In conclusion, a predictive model combining the PRS with FLI and FNI was validated. This model offers more accurate predictive value for diagnosing dyslipidemia, particularly in East Asian men. Thus, our study has the clinical potential for identifying high-risk individuals and determining preventive measures for dyslipidemia in a sex-specific manner.
