A Retrospective Study: Do Hospital Menus Carry a Risk of Malnutrition?
Article in Food science & nutrition, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Malnutrition is preventable, and increasing investment in food and nutrient care for patients can save lives. A retrospective study evaluated the adequacy levels of the menus served in a hospital by making meal-based seasonal comparisons and examined the potential of these menus to pose a risk of malnutrition. In this context, the nutritional profile regarding energy, macro and micronutrients, and fiber was revealed. The results were compared with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) and Türkiye Dietary Guideline-2022 (TDG-2022) recommendations. The nutrient profile of the menus was assessed by the Nutrient Rich Food NRF20.3 index (NRF20.3) and Limiting Nutrients 3 (LIM3) subscores. A one-year dataset obtained from a hospital menu includes three meals (breakfast, lunch, and dinner) with various menus (general, diabetic, and gluten-free) were examined, and the results of their nutrient profile were significantly different (
