Association of Liver Immune Status Index With the Nutritional Status and Prognosis in Patients With Cirrhosis.

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/
aimIn patients with cirrhosis, decreased immune function is observed and is considered to lead to various unfavorable clinical events. Although it is not easy to clinically evaluate the immune status of patients, the Liver Immune Status Index (LISI) was recently proposed as an indicator to estimate the immune status of patients after hepatectomy for hepatocellular carcinoma. We investigated the relationship between the LISI and liver function, nutritional status, and prognosis of patients with cirrhosis. PATIENTS AND
methodsThe present study analyzed 319 patients with cirrhosis who underwent nutritional assessment using indirect calorimetry at our institution. Associations between LISI values and liver functional parameters, nutritional status, and the prognosis of patients with cirrhosis were assessed.
resultsLISI values increased in line with disease severity and positively correlated with the Child-Pugh and albumin-bilirubin (ALBI) scores. The LISI was inversely associated with the geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI) value, and the LISI values in patients with protein malnutrition were higher than in those without protein malnutrition. In addition, LISI values were higher in patients with energy malnutrition than in those without. When we classified the patients into two groups according to the median LISI, patients with a high LISI had a poorer prognosis than those with a low LISI.
conclusionThe LISI was associated with the severity of liver fibrosis, decreased liver function, and malnutrition. In addition, the LISI value was related to a poor prognosis.
