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
objectiveExisting evidence suggests a potential association between coffee consumption and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD, now known as MASLD), yet the nature of this relationship remains ambiguous. The primary objective of this study was to comprehensively investigate and clarify the association between coffee intake and the occurrence of NAFLD.
designA cross-sectional study design was employed, analysing data from National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) spanning from 2013 to 2018. Weighted univariate and multivariate logistic regression models were utilised to assess the relationship between coffee consumption and NAFLD. Restricted cubic spline analysis was conducted to explore any potential nonlinear associations. Forest plots were generated to visualise the impact of coffee consumption on NAFLD across different subgroups, and threshold effect analysis was performed to evaluate the nonlinear relationship between coffee consumption and NAFLD prevalence specifically in women.
settingData were from the US - representative NHANES.
participants8062 subjects aged ≥ 20 years were included.
resultsThe weighted prevalence of NAFLD among the participants was 44·18 %. After controlling for confounding variables, coffee consumption was found to be negatively associated with the risk of NAFLD (OR = 0·96, 95 % CI: 0·94, 0·99). The association between coffee consumption and NAFLD was observed to vary by gender and education level. For the prevention of NAFLD in women, the optimal coffee intake was determined to be two cups.
conclusionsIncreasing coffee intake emerges as a potentially effective non-pharmacological strategy for the prevention and management of NAFLD. Notably, for women, consuming two cups of coffee appears to represent the optimal threshold for maximising this beneficial effect.
