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

backgroundThe aim of this prospective follow-up study was to evaluate changes in body composition parameters and Mediterranean diet (MeDi) adherence among kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) over a three-year period. Additionally, this study sought to investigate the associations between these changes and clinical parameters, including laboratory parameters, new onset of diseases, and death outcome.

methodsA total of 116 KTRs were initially assessed in 2019 and subsequently re-evaluated in 2022. The Mediterranean Diet Serving Score (MDSS) was used to assess dietary adherence to the MeDi at baseline and follow-up assessments. Bioelectrical impedance analysis was used to assess body composition and clinical outcomes were assessed by the data available from medical charts.

resultsAfter three years, MeDi adherence significantly decreased (

conclusionsThis study highlights a significant decline in MeDi adherence and skeletal muscle mass among KTRs over a three-year follow-up period, with no notable changes in fat mass or kidney function. The predictors of muscle mass loss and associations with mortality underscore the importance of dietary and clinical management in this population.
