Nutritional status in patients with liver cirrhosis.
Article in Clinical and experimental hepatology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
aim of the studyTo evaluate the nutritional status in patients with liver cirrhosis, depending on the stage of the disease. Fatty body mass, lean body mass and fluid content were determined, as well as basal metabolic rate. MATERIAL AND
methodsThe study included 56 patients with liver cirrhosis, aged 54 ±12 years. Nutritional status was determined with the BMI and albumin serum concentration. Fatty body mass, lean body mass and fluid content, as well as basal metabolic rate, were estimated by bioelectrical impedance, using a MALTRON 907 analyzer.
resultsBased on albumin concentration, malnutrition was diagnosed in over 80% of patients, usually (100%) in patients with liver cirrhosis belonging to Child-Pugh class C. In all patients, high energy demand was found in relation to basal metabolic rate. Average fatty body mass was comparable in all patients and ranged from 24 to 30%. Fluid content in the tissues was comparable in all evaluated groups and did not correlate with accompanying ascites. Fluid excess was found in 25% of Child-Pugh class A patients, in 59% of class B patients and in 60% of class C patients.
conclusionsMalnutrition is present in over 80% of patients with liver cirrhosis, and its frequency correlates with the stage of liver insufficiency. Patients with liver cirrhosis show high energy demand for basal metabolic processes. Fluid excess is mainly found in patients with more severe liver injury, but it does not correlate directly with ascites.
