Under-Recognizing Malnutrition in Hospitalized Obese Populations: The Real Paradox.
Review in Current nutrition reports, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
purpose of reviewObesity and malnutrition are frequently encountered in the hospitalized population. Although malnutrition associated with low or normal body mass index (BMI) is easily identified, malnutrition in obese patients goes frequently unrecognized as their fat mass masks underlying muscle mass deterioration. The purpose of this review is to explore if malnutrition has been studied in the obese hospitalized population and if that may be one of the reasons for the variable results in the obesity outcome data. RECENT
findingsVarious studies have shown a conflicting association between obesity and outcomes in hospitalized patient population. Most prior studies used BMI alone as an indicator of obesity and although some recent studies have included body fat percentage, muscle mass, and functional status, they still showed variable outcomes. Unfortunately, there are not many studies that looked into nutrition status specifically in obese patients to study the outcomes. Studies evaluating clinical outcomes in obese patients showed a wide range of outcomes; some showed a protective effect while others were neutral. We explored recent data about obesity, malnutrition, and outcomes, where researchers more precisely defined malnutrition and obesity to determine health outcomes.
