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

Background/Aims: Malnutrition, sarcopenia, and frailty negatively impact quality of life and increase mortality following liver transplantation (LT). However, long-term follow-up data remain limited. This study aimed primarily to assess the malnutrition risk at 1-, 2-, and 3-years post-LT. Secondary objectives included evaluating the sarcopenia and frailty risk, muscle function, physical activity, quality of life, and employment status at the same time points. Methods: This cross-sectional study included LT recipients with a history of cirrhosis, transplanted between January 2019 and December 2021. Each participant completed a single virtual meeting during which nutritional risk, sarcopenia, frailty risk, muscle function, physical activity, quality of life, employment status, and dietary intakes were assessed. Results: Sixty-six LT recipients (63.6% male) were included: cohort A (1-year post-LT, n = 25), cohort B (2 years post-LT, n = 14), and cohort C (3 years post-LT, n = 27). The prevalence of malnutrition (12.0%, 14.3%, and 11.1%), sarcopenia (16.0%, 28.6%, and 18.5%), and frailty risks (12.0%, 28.6%, and 18.5%) in cohorts A, B, and C, respectively, remained stable over time ( Conclusion: Up to 3 years after LT, patients were still at risk of malnutrition, sarcopenia, and frailty. The results of this study highlight the need for targeted interventions to improve outcomes and support long-term quality of life post-LT.
