Evaluation of Diagnostic Tools of Sarcopenia in Chronic Liver Disease: A Cross-Sectional Observational Study.
Article in Cureus, 2026. 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
Introduction Sarcopenia is consistently recognized as a strong predictor of poor outcomes in chronic liver disease and is associated with increased mortality in patients with liver cirrhosis. There is limited data on the evaluation and diagnostic tools of sarcopenia in patients with liver cirrhosis in our study setting. Aim This study aims to evaluate different diagnostic tools of sarcopenia in patients with liver cirrhosis in our tertiary care center. Materials and methods This is a cross-sectional observational study comprising 50 patients with liver cirrhosis, with or without complications. A plain CT scan of the abdomen at the third lumbar vertebra was used to measure the cross-sectional area of the psoas muscle, which was then expressed as the psoas muscle index (PMI) in mm
