The Association of Dietary Macronutrient Quality and Mortality Among Patients With Liver Cirrhosis: A Prospective Cohort Study.
Article in Health science reports, 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
Background and Aims: Cirrhosis, an end-stage manifestation of chronic liver disease, is a leading contributor to morbidity and mortality worldwide. Diet quality is an important component in determining the prognosis of various chronic diseases. In this prospective cohort study, we aimed to investigate the association between the macronutrient quality index (MQI) and mortality risk among patients with liver cirrhosis. Methods: In this prospective cohort study, 121 recently diagnosed cirrhotic patients were monitored for 60 months. The dietary intake of patients was evaluated using a 168-item food frequency questionnaire, after which MQI and its sub-indices including carbohydrate quality index (CQI), fat quality index (FQI), and protein quality index (PQI) were calculated. Crude and multivariable-adjusted hazard ratio (HR) with 95% confidence interval (CI) were estimated based on cox proportional hazard models. Results: The findings showed that a higher MQI score was significantly associated with a 65% reduction in risk of mortality after adjusting for potential confounders (p trend = 0.024). Also, CQI (HR = 0.32, 95% CI = 0.1-0.97, p trend=0.026) and FQI (HR = 0.25, 95% CI = 0.07-0.9, p trend=0.023) indicated significant reverse associations, while PQI (HR = 0.33, 95% CI = 0.1-1.1, p trend=0.122) failed to show a significant association with mortality risk. Conclusion: A thorough evaluation of MQI and its sub-indices and mortality risk in patients with cirrhosis revealed that improving the quality of macronutrient intake could considerably increase survival in cirrhotic patients.
