Pretransplant Malnutrition, Particularly With Muscle Depletion Is Associated With Adverse Outcomes After Kidney Transplantation.
Article in Transplantation direct, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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: Kidney transplant centers lack consistent diagnostic malnutrition tools. The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics and American Society of Parenteral Nutrition Adult Malnutrition Criteria (AMC) is the widely accepted and utilized tool by Registered Dietitian Nutritionists (RDNs) to diagnose malnutrition. Methods: In this single-center, retrospective observational study, we evaluated the outcomes of prekidney transplant malnutrition based on Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics and American Society of Parenteral Nutrition AMC, as well as the individual components of the AMC, on posttransplant outcomes including length of stay, delayed graft function (DGF), early readmission, cardiovascular events, acute rejection, death-censored graft failure, and death. Bivariable and multivariable logistic regression models were used to assess the association of malnutrition or its components with outcomes of interest. Results: A total of 367 recipients were included, of whom 36 (10%) were malnourished (23 moderately and 13 severely) at pretransplant evaluation. In adjusted models, pretransplant malnutrition was significantly associated with increased risk for early readmission (adjusted odds ratio 2.86; 95% confidence interval: 1.14-7.21; Conclusions: Malnutrition could be an important consideration for selecting kidney transplant recipients because it was associated with poor clinical outcomes. A multidisciplinary approach with the involvement of RDNs to outline a nutrition intervention plan may help mitigate some of the poor outcomes.
