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

backgroundCarbohydrate intake, its type and characteristics including glycemic index (GI) and glycemic load (GL) may be associated with the risk of pancreatic steatosis (PS), but there is no conclusive evidence. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether the intake of carbohydrates, GI and GL were associated with an increased risk of PS.

methodsTo conduct this study, 278 patients with common bile duct stones (CBD) underwent endoscopic ultrasound, including 89 patients with PS (case group) and 189 healthy individuals (control group). In addition to demographic and anthropometric information, a 168-item questionnaire of food frequency was completed to calculate GL and GI.

resultsWith the increase of GI and GL, the number of patients with PS increased significantly (P = 0.013, P < 0.001, respectively) and the risk of PS increased significantly. A similar increase in risk of PS was found with increased risk of carbohydrate, simple sugar and fructose intake. After adjusting all the confounders, the risk of PS with increasing simple sugar and fructose intake was 4.3 times (OR

conclusionsThese findings support the hypothesis of direct associations between GI and GL increased risk of PS.
