A Significant Association of Malnutrition with Dysphagia in Acute Patients.

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
Dysphagia and malnutrition seem to be associated, but little research in detail has been reported. We aimed to clarify the association between dysphagia and malnutrition by adopting accurate diagnosis and mathematical evaluation of dysphagia using videofluorography and nutritional assessment calculated by a well-established nutritional risk index. We conducted a retrospective analysis of 165 enrolled patients who were admitted to our hospital for acute diseases and underwent videofluorography on suspicion of dysphagia in the year 2016. We diagnosed high-risk dysphagia in patients with 8-point penetration-aspiration scale (PAS) score over 4. We used the geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI) as a nutritional assessment tool. A GNRI score less than 91.2 corresponds to malnutrition. The median age of 165 enrolled patients was 76.0, and the number of female patients was 53. The mean GNRI was 81.2, and 134 patients (81.2%) had malnutrition. The number of the patients with a diagnosis of high-risk dysphagia was 54 (32.7%). The GNRI of patients with high-risk dysphagia was significantly less than that of patients without (mean value 77.7 ± 10.5 vs. 83.0 ± 10.5, P = 0.003). GNRI < 91.2 was independently and significantly associated with high-risk dysphagia (OR 3.094; CI 1.057-9.058; P = 0.039). Based on the current study, the authors propose evaluating nutritional status to predict dysphagia risk of patients in the acute phase.
