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

purposeTo evaluate the feasibility and diagnostic performance of HepatoRenal index plus (HRI

methodsIn this prospective study, patients referred for evaluation of suspected steatotic liver disease by abdominal ultrasound or liver biopsy were enrolled. All patients underwent HRI

resultsFrom November 2023 to December 2024, 303 patients were included. The median age was 43 years (interquartile range [IQR]: 34-61), and 51.8% (157/303) of the patients were female. The median body mass index was 25.8 kg/m
