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
IntroductionMetabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is a recognized cardiometabolic risk factor in adults, but its relevance to early vascular remodeling in youth with type 1 diabetes (T1D) remains unclear. We evaluated the independent associations of hepatic fat and body composition with early structural vascular remodeling in youth with T1D.MethodsThis cross-sectional study included 49 late-pubertal youth with T1D (mean age 16.1±2.6 years; duration 7.5±4.3 years). Hepatic fat was quantified using MRI-proton density fat fraction (PDFF), while body composition and estimated insulin sensitivity (eIS) were assessed using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry and a validated pediatric equation. Carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT), measured by ultrasound, served as the primary outcome. Hierarchical linear regression assessed independent associations after adjustment for age, sex, and diabetes duration.ResultsMean hepatic fat was 1.87±1.22%, with no participants meeting criteria for steatosis. Hepatic fat, eIS, and diabetes duration were not associated with cIMT. Lean body mass was the primary independent associate of cIMT (β=0.44, p=0.02). Although eIS was strongly associated with waist circumference (r=-0.76, p<0.001), neither variable was associated with cIMT.ConclusionsIn this sub-steatotic cohort, cIMT was primarily associated with lean body mass, reflecting physiologic growth, while central adiposity was associated with metabolic dysfunction but not vascular structure.
