Association of dietary energy and protein intake with frailty among patients with cirrhosis and implications for nursing practice.

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
Objectives: This study aimed to examine the relationships among frailty, dietary energy intake, protein intake, and protein type in patients with cirrhosis. Methods: This study enrolled 267 eligible patients with liver cirrhosis from a tertiary hospital in Shandong Province between April 2024 and July 2024. Participants were divided into three groups based on the Liver Frailty Index: non-frail group ( Results: Based on the Liver Frailty Index, 63 patients (23.6 %) were classified as non-frail, 132 (49.4 %) as pre-frail, and 72 (27.0 %) as frail. The prevalence of frailty was significantly higher in females (37.0 %) than in males (22.6 %) ( Conclusions: Increasing dietary energy and protein intake, particularly from animal sources, is associated with a reduced risk of frailty in cirrhosis patients. This suggests that in clinical nursing practice, guiding patients to appropriately increase their dietary energy and protein intake, particularly by optimizing the proportion of animal protein, may help reduce the risk of frailty.
