Reduced handgrip strength and body mass index, gender, and diagnosis are associated with length of stay in hospitalized patients.
Article in Arquivos brasileiros de cirurgia digestiva : ABCD = Brazilian archives of digestive surgery, 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
backgroundHandgrip strength assessment may be a useful indicator for nutritional diagnosis and association with outcomes.
aimsTo investigate the relationship between handgrip strength and clinical outcomes in hospitalized patients.
methodsA cross-sectional study with 100 patients, investigating clinical outcome variables and explanatory variables (disease, surgery, comorbidities, gender, age, handgrip strength, body mass index, and subjective global assessment). The χ2 test, Fisher's exact test, Mann-Whitney test, Spearman correlation coefficient, simple and multiple Cox regression analysis, and the Poisson regression model were used for data analysis.
resultsThe variables that, together, best explained the length of hospital stay were handgrip strength (p<0.0001; estimated parameter=-0.020432; standard error=0.003443), body mass index (p<0.0001; estimated parameter=-0.029020; standard error=0.004952), gender (p<0.0001; estimated parameter=0.302456; standard error=0.069615), and diagnosis. Body mass index and handgrip strength were inversely associated with the length of hospital stay. Male gender and vascular or orthopedic disease, compared to other diseases, were also associated with a higher length of hospital stay. No variable was considered an associated factor for complications.
conclusionsHandgrip strength and body mass index were inversely associated with the length of hospital stay. Male gender and vascular or orthopedic disease, compared to other diseases, were associated with a higher length of hospital stay.
