The Burden of Nonmalignant Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease in the Western Pacific Region: A Systematic Analysis From 1990 to 2021.
Article in Food science & nutrition, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
The burden of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is increasing, yet there is little understanding in the Western Pacific Region (WPR). This study aims to report the latest MASLD burden in the WPR from 1990 to 2021. This study obtained nonmalignant and total MASLD incidence, prevalence, mortality, disability-adjusted life years (DALYs), years of life lost (YLLs), and years of healthy life lost due to disability (YLDs) from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) database, and calculated age-standardized ratios (ASRs) for each indicator. Estimated annual percentage changes (EAPCs) were calculated using a log-transformed linear regression model. The age-period-cohort (APC) model was used to analyze regional MASLD-related deaths; the Bayesian age-period-cohort (BAPC) model was used to estimate future trends from 2022 to 2050. The incidence, prevalence, deaths, and DALYs of nonmalignant MASLD in the WPR in 2021 are 12 million, 359.2 million, 10,195 cases, and 0.24 million years, respectively. The WPR has a high incidence of MASLD in younger age groups, especially in males, with the 15-19-year-old male group being 1215.82 per 100,000. Mongolia has the highest relative risk of deaths and DALYs, while Japan, Singapore, and China are comparatively low. The proportion of deaths and DALYs due to nonmalignant MASLD is increasing. Nonmalignant MASLD is projected to be the dominant component of resulting deaths and DALYs by 2050 in some countries. The WPR burden of MASLD is increasing, with a high prevalence in younger individuals, indicating the need for early initiation of targeted and effective MASLD prevention.
