The Challenges of Nutritional Assessment in Cirrhosis.
Article in Current nutrition reports, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
purpose of reviewNutritional status in patients with cirrhosis is very frequently associated with macro- and micronutrient deficiencies. Cirrhosis itself is the cause of malnutrition and nutritional deficiencies but these conditions have to be identified and addressed properly as they can worsen the prognosis of cirrhosis. The goals of this review are to 1) identify and describe the challenges associated with nutritional assessment in cirrhosis and 2) describe recent advancements when using clinical, laboratory, and instrumental tools in the evaluation of malnourished patients with liver diseases. RECENT
findingsThe most promising tools for nutritional assessment in cirrhosis include the evaluation of body composition with phase angle obtained by bioelectrical impedance analysis, computed tomography transverse images at the level of third lumbar vertebra. The Royal-Free Hospital global assessment algorithm appears to be helpful but needs further validation. SUMMARY: Nutritional assessment in cirrhosis is challenging as several factors, including edema, can interfere with it and because of lack of a validated gold standard. Regardless, nutritional assessment methods have been developed in recent years and should gain relevance in the clinical practice.
