Muscle quality determined by computed tomography predicts short-term and long-term survival after liver transplantation.
Article in Scientific reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 papers, 3 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
Sarcopenia, the loss of muscle mass and quality, contributes to worse clinical outcome in patients with end-stage liver disease, but its impact on short- and long-term survival remains insufficiently understood. The aim of this study was to evaluate the development of computed tomography (CT) muscle parameters and their impact on short-term and long-term survival after liver transplantation. This retrospective study included patients with liver transplantation between 2011 and 2015 and a pre-transplant CT scan. Clinical characteristics, CT muscle mass and density were assessed pre-transplant, and in available CT scans at short-term (11 months) and long-term follow-up (56 months). Overall, 93/152 (61%) patients (109 male, 55 ± 10 years) suffered from sarcopenia pre-transplant. In short- (n = 50) and long-term follow-up (n = 52) the muscle mass (- 2.65 cm
