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

BACKGROUND/

aimsThe newly proposed metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) framework reflects the evolving understanding of fatty liver disease, highlighting the importance of exploring novel risk factors beyond traditional metabolic indicators. This study aimed to examine the associations between systemic inflammatory indices and the prevalence of MASLD and liver fibrosis. MATERIALS AND

methodsData from the 2017 MASLD framework reflecting the evolving regression was used to assess associations of systemic inflammatory indices-systemic immune-inflammation index (SII), systemic inflammation response index (SIRI), platelet- to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (LMR), prognostic nutritional index (PNI), aggregate index of systemic inflammation (AISI), inflammation burden index (IBI), neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, neutrophil-to-albumin ratio, and pan-immuneinflammation value (PIV)-with MASLD assessed by controlled attenuation parameter (CAP) and liver fibrosis assessed by liver stiffness measurement (LSM), adjusting for confounders.

resultsAnalysis of CAP and MASLD revealed that elevated SII, SIRI, LMR, IBI, and PNI were significantly associated with higher CAP values, reflecting increased hepatic steatosis, while PLR showed a negative association. Regarding LSM and liver fibrosis, higher SIRI, PNI, IBI, and AISI were significantly associated with increased liver stiffness, whereas PLR remained inversely correlated.

conclusionThis nationally representative study demonstrates that systemic inflammatory dysregulation is linked to both MASLD and liver fibrosis, with distinct biomarker patterns for steatosis and fibrosis.
