Myosteatosis for Early Detection of Muscle Disorder in Patients With Liver Cirrhosis.
Article in Journal of clinical and experimental hepatology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Background and aims: Muscle disorders in cirrhosis are associated with poor outcome and need early identification. Anthropometric measures lack sensitivity, and CT-based L3-skeletal muscle Index (L3-SMI) may miss early sarcopenia. The study aimed to find if SM-RA can identify more patients with muscle disorder than L3-SMI and anthropometry. Methods: 388 patients with cirrhosis underwent nutritional assessment by anthropometry, short-physical-performance-battery (SPPB) < 9, L3-SMI (<36.5 cm Results: Sarcopenia based on SPPB was 38.9 % with scores (9 ± 1.48 vs. 10.74 ± 1.25, Conclusion: SM-RA can identify more patients with muscle disorder than L3-SMI and SPPB.
