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

Malnutrition is related to a range of secondary complications. The prevalence of many of these sequelae is higher in elderly women than in men, thus resulting in a higher level of impairment and reduced quality of life. Multiple factors lead to the development of malnutrition and socioeconomic causes, such as poverty among the elderly and isolation, are more common in elderly women. The age-associated loss of muscle mass is more pronounced in women than in men and the risk of developing sarcopenia and frailty is increased. The prevalence of sarcopenic obesity is higher in women than in men. Malnutrition increases the risk of osteoporosis and about 80 % of all osteoporosis patients are women. Furthermore, low serum levels of vitamin D correlate more closely to a poorer cognitive outcome in elderly women than they do in men. The prevention, early diagnosis and therapy of malnutrition is of great clinical importance, particularly to preserve physical functional capacity and thus quality of life in elderly women.
