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
Introduction: Malnutrition is a common condition in liver cirrhosis (LC), which is associated with poor survival. Despite the wide range of tools, there is no agreement on a standard nutritional assessment method applicable to LC. Aim: To determine the validity and prognostic value of the Patient-Generated Subjective Global Assessment (PG-SGA) as a nutritional assessment tool in LC patients. Material and methods: In 2019-2021, 161 patients with LC (aged 55.2 ±11.6 years) were involved, of whom 23, 57, and 81 patients were classified as Class A, B, and C Child-Turcotte-Pugh (CTP), accordingly. Fifty patients died during follow-up (489 (293-639) days). The PG-SGA, Controlling Nutritional Status (CONUT), handgrip strength, and skeletal muscle index (SMI) were used to assess nutritional status. Results: According to the PG-SGA 29.8% of patients were moderately malnourished and 29.8% were severely malnourished. 50.6% of CTP C patients were severely malnourished. Numerical PG-SGA correlated with CTP, Model for End-Stage Liver Disease, CONUT, SMI, and handgrip strength. Low SMI and handgrip strength were present in 87.5% and 66.7% of severely malnourished patients, respectively. PG-SGA predicted mortality (AUC = 0.775, Conclusions: The PG-SGA is a reliable nutritional assessment tool and can predict mortality in LC patients.
