Assessment of the Risk of Malnutrition or Frailty Among Patients Undergoing Liver Transplantation: A Hospital-Based Prospective Study.

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
Objective: We aimed to explore the status of nutritional and frailty in patients undergoing liver transplantation and the associated influencing factors. Methods: We conducted a follow-up analysis of 44 patients who underwent liver transplantation between 2021 and 2022. We followed up and recorded the nutritional status and risk of weakness at different time-points (days 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, and 12) postoperatively. Patient information regarding demographics, physical examination, medical history, and perioperative blood tests were collected. Binary logistic regression was applied to identify risk factors for weakness after liver transplantation. Results: The cohort comprised 44 liver transplant recipients, with a mean age of 47.66 years (standard deviation=9.49 years). Initial analysis revealed that, compared to the group without nutritional risks, the group with nutritional risks displayed elevated age and preoperative blood ammonia levels one week post-surgery. Moreover, this group had reduced levels of albumin and total bile acid preoperatively. Patients with preoperative nutritional risks were also prone to similar risks 2 weeks postoperatively. Further, a correlation was observed between preoperative pulmonary infections and increased frailty risk 6 days postoperatively. At both 9 and 12 days postoperatively, patients with frailty risk exhibited higher preoperative white blood cell counts and ammonia levels than those without. Multivariable analysis, controlling for confounding factors, indicated a significant association between preoperative nutritional status and nutritional risk 2 weeks postoperatively, as well as a link between preoperative white blood cell count and frailty risk at 12 days postoperatively. Conclusion: There was a significant correlation between preoperative nutritional status and nutritional risk 2 weeks after liver transplantation, and preoperative white blood cell count was an independent risk factor for weakness 12 days postoperatively. Preoperative nutritional management for patients could potentially mitigate the likelihood of adverse clinical outcomes.
