Comparison of Nutritional Status Between Nursing Home Residents and Community Dwelling Older Adults: a Cross-Sectional Study from Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Article in Materia socio-medica, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
aimThe aim of the study was to determine the differences in nutritional status and risk for malnutrition between nursing home and community-dwelling residents.
methodsCross-sectional study included 146 nursing home residents and 300 community-dwelling elderly adults from four municipalities in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Anthropometric measurements, biochemical analyses, nutritive, functional and cognitive assessments were carried out. Nutritional status and risk for malnutrition were assessed by Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA), Seniors in the Community: Risk Evaluation for Eating and Nutrition, version II (Screen II) and the food intake analysis for the past 24 hours. Functional status was assessed by the Lawton scale, the Katz Independence Index, Timed Up and Go test, the Functional Reach Test. Mini Cog test and Six-item cognitive impairment test were used for the evaluation of cognitive functioning.
resultsThe incidence of high nutritive risk by SCREEN II (100%) and being "at risk for malnutrition" by MNA (81.60%) was higher among nursing home residents compared to community-dwellers. Community-dwelling elderly people had higher BMI (27.94 ± 4.73), weight (78.40 ± 13.99), height (167.69 ± 9.74), waist circumference (97.77 ± 12.88), hip circumference (104.61 ± 11.47), mid-arm arm (27.54 ± 3.58), hip (27.54 ± 3.58) and calf circumference (34.02 ± 5.16 ). Statistical differences in regards to place of living were found in functional status (p<0.001), cognitive functioning (p<0.001) and hand grip strength (p<0.001).
conclusionThe frequency of malnutrition and high nutritional risk was higher in respondents who were living in the nursing homes compared to community-dwellers. The results of this study showed that health professionals involved in the care for institutionalized elderly people should implement routine screening of malnutrition within the comprehensive geriatric assessment in their daily practice.
