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

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a common metabolic disorder with a strong association to type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Therefore, it is of interest to compare transient elastography findings among diabetic and non-diabetic individuals in a tertiary healthcare setting in Kerala. A total of 220 participants were assessed, of which 73 were diabetic and liver stiffness was measured using FibroScan®. Diabetic patients exhibited significantly higher mean fibrosis scores compared to non-diabetic patients (14.39 ± 14.42 vs. 8.14 ± 7.83, p=0.000). Thus, we show diabetes as a major predictor of advanced liver fibrosis, underscoring the need for early detection and targeted interventions in high-risk populations.
