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: Frailty and malnutrition have emerged as critical public health issues amidst global population aging. Malnutrition not only significantly contributes to frailty but also intensifies its clinical symptoms, severely affecting the quality of life and health outcomes in older adults. Research in this field has accelerated in recent years; however, a comprehensive analysis of key research trends and hotspots remains absent. This study employs bibliometric methods to systematically analyze core themes and emerging research directions related to nutritional status and frailty in older adults, identifying potential research frontiers and guiding future development. Methods: A comprehensive search was conducted in the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) database on November 6, 2024, using keywords relevant to frailty and nutrition status in older adults. Bibliometric analyses and knowledge mapping were performed using CiteSpace, VOSviewer, and R software. Results: Between 2005 and 2024, 2,357 publications on frailty and nutrition status in older adults were produced by 13,080 researchers from 3,987 institutions across 88 countries. The volume of publications has shown a consistent upward trajectory over the past two decades (R Conclusion: This bibliometric analysis offers a comprehensive examination of the research evolution, hotspots, and emerging frontiers in frailty and nutrition status among older adults over the past two decades. The findings provide an objective overview of the academic landscape, offering valuable insights for future research, resource allocation, and policymaking.
