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

Steatotic liver disease (SLD), the most common chronic liver disease, imposes significant health and economic burdens. This study examined the association between long-term exposure to ambient air pollutants and SLD risk and severity in a population with relatively lower pollution levels. We analyzed 20,553 participants who underwent health screening from 2015-2019. Five-year exposures to PM
