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

The patatin-like phospholipase 3 (PNPLA3) I148M genetic variant is highly associated with steatotic liver disease. In the SURPASS-3 MRI substudy, tirzepatide significantly reduced liver fat content (LFC) versus insulin degludec in insulin-naïve patients with type 2 diabetes with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease. The influence of PNPLA3 I148M allele on changes in LFC in response to tirzepatide is unknown. This post hoc analysis evaluated changes in MRI-assessed LFC and cardiometabolic parameters by presence (genotypes GG and CG) or absence (genotype CC) of the PNPLA3 I148M allele after 52-week treatment. Tirzepatide-treated participants experienced significant reductions in LFC, weight, HbA
