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

Postoperative malnutrition occurs in 30-60% of liver transplant recipients and impairs perioperative recovery and long-term survival. Distinct malnutrition phenotypes exist across age groups, adult recipients mainly develop sarcopenia driven by sustained hypercatabolism, while pediatric counterparts suffer growth retardation and feeding dysfunction resulting from congenital cholestasis and high anabolic demands. Current studies mostly focus on short-term nutritional support, lacking age-stratified full-cycle intervention covering pre-transplant, early postoperative and long-term maintenance phases, and insufficiently summarize differentiated micronutrient supplementation schemes. This review systematically comparing pathological, metabolic, psychological and nutritional discrepancies between pediatric and adult liver transplant recipients. This review delineates age-specific requirements for macronutrients, fat- and water-soluble vitamins, and trace elements, and summarizes stratified nutritional assessment modalities, enteral and parenteral feeding regimens, and targeted interventions to counteract metabolic adverse effects induced by immunosuppressive agents. Multidisciplinary, staged individualized nutritional regimens are proposed to correct malnutrition, promote catch-up growth in children, preserve muscle mass and reduce metabolic complications in adults, providing evidence-based guidance for clinical precision nutritional management after liver transplantation.
