Predictability of a modified Mini- Nutritional- Assessment version on six-month and one-year mortality in hospitalized geriatric patients: a comparative analysis.
Article in Scientific reports, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Recently we introduced a modified Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA) Short Form (MNA-SF) and Long Form (MNA-SF) with operationalization of the 'mobility' and 'neuropsychological problems' items of the MNA using scores on Barthel Index mobility item and Mini Mental State Examination and Geriatric Depression Scale scores. We have now evaluated the abilities of this modified MNA-SF and MNA-LF to predict mortality in comparison with the standard MNA-SF and MNA-LF and the Nutritional Risk Screening 2002 (NRS 2002) and the Malnutrition Universal Screening Tool (MUST). A prospective analysis was performed in 240 hospitalised geriatric patients aged ≥ 65 years. Malnutrition and/or malnutrition risk were assessed using the modified MNA-SF and MNA-LF, the standard MNA-SF and MNA-LF, and the NRS 2002 and MUST. The modified MNA-SF and MNA-LF and the standard MNA-SF and MNA-LF assessments (all p < 0.05), but not NRS 2002 or MUST (all p ≥ 0.05), predicted six-month and/or one-year mortality. Prediction of six-month and/or one-year mortality by the modified MNA-SF was comparable with predictions by the standard MNA-SF and MNA-LF (all p ≥ 0.05). The modified MNA-LF showed better prediction of six-month and one-year mortality than the standard MNA-SF and MNA-LF (all p < 0.05). The modified MNA-LF (all adjusted p < 0.05), but none of the other instruments (all adjusted p ≥ 0.05), predicted six-month and one-year mortality independently of age, sex, frailty, comorbidity and ADL disability burden. The modified MNA-SF and MNA-LF emerged as potentially valuable tools for predicting mortality in patients hospitalised on geriatric wards.
