What diet should I recommend my patient with Hepatic Encephalopathy?
Article in Current hepatology reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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 reviewThe burden of malnutrition is high in patients with cirrhosis, especially in those with hepatic encephalopathy (HE). This has a bearing on increased morbidity and mortality. Heightened attention needs to be paid to screen the patients at high nutritional risk both in the outpatient and hospitalized settings. This review summarizes the current evidence for nutritional support in HE patients and compares the recommendations about nutritional requirement as laid out by various organizations. RECENT
findingsOn survey of the literature, there is a consensus on avoiding protein restriction of the diets in HE patients along with uniform recommendations on caloric requirements. An exciting field of manipulating the gut microbiome in nutritional sciences may hold promise as well as there may be a future role for branched chain amino acids in nutritional management of HE patients. SUMMARY: Even though the data suggest that nutritional improvement lead to better outcomes including lower readmission rates in cirrhosis, operationalizing these into practice remains a challenge. To achieve this, a multi-disciplinary approach with nutritional education of the frontline care providers, earlier nutritional risk screening of patients, involvement of the nutrition professionals as part of the team and repeated dietary counseling for the patient and caregiver/s is required. Ultimately, this may need more focus, resource allocation and uniform guidelines across all countries to make this a success.
