1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Malnutrition is ubiquitous in cirrhotic patients presenting for liver transplant (LT). Providing an appropriate energy prescription is fundamental to effective nutrition therapy. We aimed to compare measured energy expenditure (mEE) with predicted energy expenditure (pEE) in patients awaiting LT and determine clinical factors associated with mEE. In this prospective observational study, energy expenditure was measured by indirect calorimetry in 110 adult patients referred for LT and predicted by commonly utilized equations (Harris-Benedict, Schofield, and EASL guidelines). Nutritional status, anthropometry, muscle function, biochemical and clinical data were also collected. The median model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) was 19 (IQR 13, 25), and the majority were Child-Pugh B (51%) or C (37%). Malnutrition was evident in 85%. Median mEE by calorimetry was 1756 (1531, 2104) kcal/d and significantly higher than pEE as per Harris-Benedict 1480 (1322, 1722) kcal/d and Schofield 1474 (1349, 1723) kcal/d (both
