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

backgroundNutrition assessment in patients receiving parenteral nutrition often relies on classical parameters with limited prognostic value. Morphofunctional tools such as phase angle and handgrip strength measurement offer a more comprehensive evaluation of nutrition status and may better predict clinical outcomes.

objectiveTo evaluate the predictive value of phase angle and handgrip strength for 12-month mortality in hospitalized patients receiving parenteral nutrition.

methodsA retrospective observational study was conducted in 614 patients treated with parenteral nutrition. Anthropometric assessments were realized. Morphofunctional assessments included bioelectrical impedance analysis to determine phase angle and dynamometry to measure handgrip strength. Survival analysis was performed using Cox proportional hazards models and Kaplan-Meier curves and cutoff values by receiver operating characteristic curve analysis.

resultsSix hundred fourteen patients received parenteral nutrition, with a mean age of 64 ± 14.6 years; 58.2% were male. After 1 year, the mortality rate was 26.1%, and the average hospital stay was 27.9 ± 23.8 days. Twelve-month survival was reduced in patients with low phase angle (57%) and low handgrip strength (62.8%) compared with those with preserved values (84% and 82.2%, respectively). In the multivariable logistic regression model adjusted for age, sex, and body mass index, each unit increase in phase angle and handgrip strength was associated with a 4% and 2% reduction in mortality odds, respectively (phase angle: odds ratio [OR], 0.6; 95% CI, 0.5-0.7; P < 0.001; handgrip strength: OR, 0.9; 95% CI, 0.9-1.0; P = 0.03624).

conclusionPhase angle and handgrip strength are predictors of 12-month mortality in patients receiving parenteral nutrition.
