Abstract

The relationship between insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome (MetS), and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is complicated. Although insulin resistance is almost universal in people with NAFLD and MetS, NAFLD may be present without features of MetS and vice versa. While NAFLD has a strong correlation with cardiometabolic risk factors, these are not intrinsic components of this condition. Taken together, our knowledge gaps call for caution regarding the common assertion that NAFLD is the hepatic manifestation of the MetS, and for defining NAFLD in broad terms as a "metabolic dysfunction" based on a diverse and poorly understood constellation of cardiometabolic features.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
