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

Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) has become the most prevalent chronic liver disease globally. Previous studies have shown that MASLD is an independent risk factor for chronic kidney disease (CKD), but the variations in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) levels across countries with different ethnic backgrounds have not been extensively reported. We enrolled 3308 participants with biopsy-proven MASLD from 34 centers in this multinational study and analyzed the associations between eGFR and histological severity of liver fibrosis in different countries. European participants had lower eGFR levels (92.2 ± 20.7 vs. 104.7 ± 17.3 mL/min/1.73 m
