Association between Poor Appetite and Nutrient Intake in Community-Dwelling Older Adults: The Otassha Study.
Article in JMA journal, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Introduction: Poor appetite is a prevalent and serious problem among older adults. However, real-world data regarding appetite and nutrient intake among community-dwelling older adults are scarce. The aim of this study was to clarify the association between appetite and nutrient intake status among community-dwelling older adults. Methods: This cross-sectional study involved participants (N = 583) from the cohort of the "Otassha study," conducted among community-dwelling older adults. Appetite was assessed using the Japanese version of the Simplified Nutritional Appetite Questionnaire. Nutrient intake was calculated using the Brief-Type Self-Administered Diet History Questionnaire. In addition, compliance status was assessed using the recommended dietary allowance (RDA) of various nutrients based on the "Dietary Reference Intakes for Japanese (2020)." The association between compliance status and appetite was analyzed using logistic regression, with the RDA of multiple nutrients as the dependent variable and poor appetite as the independent variable. Results: In the study population, 32.1% of participants had poor appetite. Multivariable logistic regression revealed that poor appetite was significantly associated with insufficient vitamin C intake relative to the RDA (odds ratio 1.67; 95% confidence interval 1.08-2.57). Conclusions: This study demonstrated an association between poor appetite and vitamin C intake among community-dwelling older adults.
