Serum dihomo-γ-linolenic acid concentration as a potential novel noninvasive biomarker for liver steatosis detection in children.

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
Aim of the study: To evaluate serum concentrations of dihomo-γ-linolenic acid and associated long chain n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (linoleic (LA), arachidonic acid (AA)) together with estimated desaturase activities in obese children with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). Material and methods: The prospective study included 57 children with obesity. MASLD was diagnosed according to the latest consensus. The total intrahepatic lipid content (TILC) was assessed by magnetic resonance proton spectroscopy ( Results: MASLD was diagnosed in 25 children. DGLA was significantly higher in children with obesity in comparison to the reference group ( Conclusions: Serum DGLA levels may be considered as a potential novel non-invasive biomarker for liver steatosis detection in children. The differences in the serum concentrations of DGLA, LA and AA between the groups and correlations found between their concentrations and other parameters suggest their potential role in pathogenesis and development of MASLD in children with obesity.
