Sarcopenic visceral obesity is associated with increased post-liver transplant mortality in acutely ill patients with cirrhosis.
Article in American journal of transplantation : official journal of the American Society of Transplantation and the American Society of Transplant Surgeons, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled it.
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
"Sarcopenic obesity" refers to a condition of low muscle mass in the context of obesity, though may be difficult to assess in patients with cirrhosis who are acutely ill. We aimed to define sarcopenic visceral obesity (SVO) using CT-based skeletal muscle index (SMI) and visceral-to-subcutaneous adipose tissue ratio (VSR) to examine its association with post-transplant mortality. We analyzed 116 adult inpatients with cirrhosis who were urgently listed and transplanted between 1/2005 and 12/2017 at 4 North American transplant centers. SVO was defined as patients with sarcopenia (SMI <50 cm
