Knowledge and practices related to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease among university students in Bangladesh.

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
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a growing public health concern associated with obesity, diabetes, and metabolic syndromes. However, awareness and preventive behaviors remain understudied among young adults in low- and middle-income countries. This cross-sectional study assesses knowledge, attitudes, and practices related to NAFLD. This study is carried out among 343 university students (predominantly undergraduate students, mean age 24.6 years) at the Islamic University of Technology(IUT), Bangladesh. Even with 76.1% awareness, knowledge was very poor (39.1%) or moderate (40.2%). This shows significant gaps in understanding risk factors, treatment, prevention, and a strong dependence on informal information sources. Knowledge was particularly associated with age, region, and educational level. Preventive measures were extremely low, with only 11.1% followed by dieting restrictions and 31.2% making lifestyle changes. In an exploratory analysis limited to the 59 students who
