Sleep quality and its relation to anthropometric and metabolic factors in overweight/obese patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease: a case-control study.

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
objectiveTo investigate whether poor sleep quality could predict non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).
resultsIn this case-control study, sleep duration and quality were assessed in 72 overweight or obese patients with newly diagnosed NAFLD as "cases" compared with 72 age-and sex-matched adults without NAFLD as "controls". Weight, height, and the circumferences of the waist, hip, and neck, as well as metabolic (glycemia, lipid profile, liver function biomarkers) and hematological factors (complete blood cell count), were assessed. Sleep quality was assessed using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), and the global PSQI score was classified into good sleep quality (< 6) and low sleep quality (≥ 6). Cases showed significantly greater body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, and waist-to-height ratio as well as serum levels of glucose, hemoglobin A1c, triglyceride, total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, alanine and aspartate aminotransferases, and 25(OH)D than controls (p < 0.05). The PSQI score was significantly correlated with serum levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, total iron-binding capacity, and 25(OD in patients with NAFLD. Although age and BMI were more likely to be associated with NAFLD (p = 0.042 and p < 0.001, respectively), no association was found for PSQI score as well as its components in NAFLD odds, after adjusting for the confounders.
