Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease and Its Sarco-Metabolic Correlates in People Living with Human Immunodeficiency Virus Infection.

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
Introduction: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and sarcopenia are increasingly identified in People Living with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) (PLHIV), contributing to cardiometabolic risk. This study aims to assess the prevalence and sarcometabolic associations of NAFLD in PLHIV. Methods: The study included 60 clinically stable patients on anti-retroviral treatment (>1 year). Patients with liver diseases, Hepatitis B/C, and significant alcohol intake were excluded. Hepatic inflammation was assessed via FibroScan-AST score (FAST), steatosis via Controlled Attenuation Parameter obtained from Fibroscan, and fibrosis using APRI, FIB-4, and Liver Stiffness Measurement. Sarcopenia was assessed using hand grip strength measured using a hydraulic dynamometer and skeletal muscle mass via Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry. Sarcometabolic parameters were compared between PLHIV with and without NAFLD. Results: The study enrolled 60 patients (mean age: 37.12 ± 9.26 years; 46 (76.67%) males). The NAFLD frequency was 20%, with the majority having grade 3 steatosis. Hepatic inflammation (FAST score) was higher in NAFLD group (0.34 vs 0.12, Conclusion: NAFLD prevalence in stable Indian PLHIV is significant considering a high cardiovascular disease risk in this population. Hypertriglyceridemia seems to be significantly associated as a risk factor. Return to health and nutrition have positively impacted muscle health with a downside of developing fatty liver.
