Association of hepatic steatosis with increased plasma xanthine oxidoreductase activity: MedCity21 health examination registry.
Article in Metabolism open, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: Steatotic liver disease, characterized by hepatic steatosis, increases the risk of metabolic and cardiovascular diseases. We previously reported that the plasma activity of xanthine oxidoreductase (XOR), primarily expressed in the human liver, is also associated with these diseases. The present study examined whether hepatic steatosis is associated with increased XOR activity. Methods: This cross-sectional study included 334 participants who underwent health examinations and were not receiving urate-lowering or insulin therapy. Values for controlled attenuation parameter (CAP) and liver stiffness measurement (LSM) obtained with vibration-controlled transient elastography were used to assess hepatic steatosis and fibrosis. Plasma XOR activity was determined with our highly sensitive assay. Results: Median CAP, LSM, and plasma XOR activity values were 234.0 dB/m, 3.6 kPa, and 27.2 pmol/h/mL, respectively. CAP was correlated with plasma XOR activity (ρ = 0.540, Conclusions: These results suggest that hepatic steatosis increases plasma XOR activity independent of liver enzymes, adiponectin, and IR.
