Effect of Total Psoas Muscle Area and Serum Albumin on Outcomes After Lung Transplantation.
Article in Clinical transplantation, 2025. 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
backgroundSarcopenia of the psoas muscle and hypoalbuminemia indicate poor nutritional status, inflammation, and frailty in lung transplant (LT) candidates, correlating with worse post-transplant outcomes.
methodsRetrospective study of LT recipients (2015-2023) examining the association of total psoas muscle area (TPA) and serum albumin with hospital stay, survival, and pulmonary function.
resultsOne hundred thirty-two LT recipients (mean age 59.56 ± 10.65 years, BMI 26.73 ± 5.55 kg/m
conclusionIn the present study of LT recipients, higher TPA and albumin levels were linked to shorter hospitalization, and albumin independently predicted survival. TPA, but not albumin, was associated with pulmonary function post-transplant.
