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

BACKGROUND AND

objectivesNutrition is important in promoting health and preventing disease, while malnutrition can exacerbate disease symptoms and lead to adverse clinical outcomes in patients. The process of nutritional diagnosis and treatment includes nutritional risk screening, nutritional assessment, and nutritional therapy. This study aims to understand the number of publications, cooperation of research subjects, progress of research content, and research hotspots of nutritional risk screening and assessment, and then identify the future trends and directions of global nutritional screening. METHODS AND STUDY

designArticles on nutritional risk screening, nutritional assessment and application of nutritional diagnostic tools were identified from the Web of Science and the collected data were analysed using bibliometrics and information visualisa-tion with the help of CiteSpace software. A total of 10632 articles published between 1991 and 2024 were selected.

resultsThe country with the highest number of articles was the United States; two institutions, the University of São Paulo and the Karolinska Institutet, had higher centrality and number of articles. Keyword emergent analysis revealed that global leadership initiatives on malnutrition, diagnosis, criteria, myasthenia gravis, and clinical nutrition were the five emergent terms that lasted until 2024 and were the most popular hot topics among experts and scholars.

conclusionsWe describe the characteristics of the development of nutritional risk screening and assessment studies and their trends. Currently, there is not a close collaboration between institutions and authors in the research process, while the field is trending towards more specific research and a greater focus on the disease progression in patients.
