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
backgroundCardiovascular dysfunction in cirrhotic patients affects survival and the development of cirrhotic complications. We aimed to evaluate potential echocardiographic parameters to predict mortality and acute kidney injury (AKI) in cirrhotic patients.
methodsA total of 103 cirrhotic patients who underwent echocardiography between February 2009 and August 2016 in Taipei Veterans General Hospital were retrospectively enrolled. Cardiac function was evaluated using transthoracic two-dimensional echocardiography with tissue Doppler imaging. Cox hazard regression analysis was used for assessing predictors for 1-year mortality and AKI within 1 year.
resultsBaseline echocardiographic parameters were similar between survivors (n = 92) and nonsurvivors (n = 11). Lower serum levels of albumin, as well as higher albumin-bilirubin (ALBI) scores, Child-Pugh scores, and model for end-stage liver disease scores were observed in nonsurvivors. Cox proportional hazard regression analysis revealed Child-Pugh score as the only predictor of 1-year mortality. Baseline serum creatinine (Cr) > 1.5 mg/dL, total bilirubin > 2 mg/dL, and a higher E/e' ratio predict occurrence of AKI within 1 year. Among patients with serum Cr < 1.5 mg/dL, an increased atrial filling velocity and higher ALBI scores predict AKI occurrence within 1 year.
conclusionSeverity of underlying liver disease but not echocardiographic parameters predicts 1-year mortality in cirrhosis. Early echocardiographic signs of diastolic dysfunction and higher ALBI scores may predict development of AKI in cirrhotic patients with serum Cr < 1.5 mg/dL.
