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

backgroundCirrhotic patients face heightened energy demands, leading to rapid glycogen depletion, protein degradation, oxidative stress, and inflammation, which drive disease progression and complications. These disruptions cause cellular damage and parenchymal changes, resulting in vascular alterations, portal hypertension, and liver dysfunction, significantly affecting patient prognosis.

aimTo analyze the association between Child-Turcotte-Pugh (CTP) scores and different nutritional indicators with survival in a 15-year follow-up cohort.

methodsThis was a retrospective cohort study with 129 cirrhotic patients of both sexes aged > 18 years. Diagnosis of cirrhosis was made by liver biopsy. The first year of data collection was 2007, and data regarding outcomes were collected in 2023. Data were gathered from medical records, and grouped by different methods, including CTP, handgrip strength, and triceps skinfold cutoffs. The prognostic values for mortality were assessed using Kaplan-Meier curves and multivariate binary logistic regression models.

resultsThe coefficient for CTP was the only statistically significant variable (Wald = 5.193,

conclusionAlthough different classifications showed specific differences in stratification, only CTP showed significant predictive potential. CTP score remains a simple and effective predictive tool for cirrhotic patients even after longer follow-up.
