Overweight Impacts Histological Disease Activity of De Novo Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease After Liver Transplantation.
Article in Clinical transplantation, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
aimsMetabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is a leading indication for liver transplantation (LT), but also occurs after LT. The prevalence of de novo MASLD (dnMASLD) after LT, based on both surveillance (svLbx) and indication biopsies (indLbx), is unknown. Furthermore, the impact of the distinct cardiometabolic risk factors on histological disease activity has not been assessed. We aimed to evaluate the prevalence of dnMASLD and the association between the cardiometabolic risk factors and histological disease activity.
methodsWe performed a retrospective single-center study in a LT cohort with indLbx and svLbx. Patients with NAFLD before LT were excluded.
resultsWe analyzed 249 patients who underwent either svLbx or indLbx. Forty-eight (19.2%) had either dnMASLD (n = 26/249, 10.4%) or metabolic dysfunction associated steatohepatitis (dnMASH) (n = 22/249, 8.8%). Although dnMASLD/dnMASH was more frequent in indLbx (35.1%, p < 0.01), still 16.5% of patients with svLbx had dnMASLD/dnMASH. While overweight (p < 0.01) and diabetes (p = 0.01) were more frequent in patients with dnMASH, only overweight was associated with histological disease activity in the multivariate analysis. No impact of dnMASLD on the overall survival was observed.
conclusionWhile dnMASLD is more frequent in patients with indLBX, it also occurs in 16.5% of patients without signs of graft dysfunction. Overweight has the strongest impact on histological disease activity and should be monitored carefully after LT.
