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
Antioxidant vitamin deficiency may contribute to the development of metabolic diseases, such as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). This study aimed to analyze the association between serum vitamin A, E, and folate levels and NAFLD in adults with diabetes mellitus. Using data from the Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2016-2018), we conducted a cross-sectional analysis of adults over 19 with diabetes. NAFLD was identified through three prediction tools. Of 589 participants, 326, 445, and 527 had NAFLD according to the hepatic steatosis index, Framingham steatosis index (FSI), and comprehensive NAFLD score (CNS), respectively. Serum vitamin E levels were consistently higher in the NAFLD group across all diagnostic tools. Similarly, vitamin A levels were elevated in those with NAFLD as per the CNS. Folate levels were higher in the obese group according to the FSI. After adjusting for covariates, both vitamin A and E levels were positively associated with NAFLD. This suggests that higher serum levels of vitamins A and E may increase the risk of NAFLD in the Korean diabetic population. These findings highlight the importance of monitoring micronutrient levels in managing NAFLD in patients with diabetes.
