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 aims: Malnutrition is closely associated with adverse clinical outcomes in older adult heart failure (HF) patients. Currently, there is a distinct absence of specific diagnostic tools to identify malnutrition within this particular population. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the factors influencing malnutrition in older adult HF patients based on the Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) criteria, with the goal of developing a rapid and accurate diagnostic method to identify malnutrition. Methods: The research incorporated a primary cohort study of 163 HF patients aged 65 and above and a validation cohort of 69 patients. The nutritional status of these patients was assessed according to the GLIM criteria. Logistic regression analysis was conducted to determine the independent risk factors of malnutrition. Subsequently, a nomogram model was developed and validated. Results: According to the GLIM criteria, 54 patients (33.1%) and 22 patients (32.4%) in two patient cohorts were suffering from malnutrition. The logistic analyses revealed that body mass index (BMI), grip strength, mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC), fat-free mass (FFM), and albumin independently serve as risk factors of malnutrition in older adult HF patients. The nomogram model demonstrates excellent discriminative ability, with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.921 (95% CI: 0.881-0.962). While the AUC of validation cohort is 0.899 (95% CI: 0.827-0.972). Conclusion: In older adult HF patients, BMI, grip strength, FFM, MUAC and albumin are identified as independent risk factors for malnutrition. The constructed nomogram based on these factors can accurately predict malnutrition and holds significant practical value.
