Association Between Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index and Frailty in Older Hospitalized 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
objectivePrevious studies have explored the association between malnutrition and frailty, but no study has investigated whether the Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI), a simple and objective nutritional risk screening tool, is associated with the frailty of older adults. The study aimed to examine the relationship between nutrition-related risk, as assessed by the GNRI, and frailty among older hospitalized patients.
methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted in the West China Hospital of Sichuan University with 740 patients aged ≥70 years between March 2016 and Jan 2017. Nutritional and frailty status was evaluated with the GNRI and FRAIL scale, respectively. The adjusted and unadjusted ordinal logistic regression analyses were used to examine the relationship between nutritional risk and frailty. The ability of GNRI in detecting frailty was assessed by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis.
resultsThe prevalence of low, moderate, and severe nutritional risk among frail patients were 30.1%, 27.6%, and 12.5%, respectively. Ordinal logistic regression analysis showed that malnutrition assessed by the GNRI had a significant association with frailty after adjustment of age, sex, polypharmacy, comorbidity, vision impairment, hearing impairment, cognitive impairment, and depression. In the ROC analysis, the area under the curve for GNRI identifying frailty was 0.698 (95% CI: 0.66-0.74;
conclusionNutrition-related risk screened by the GNRI was independently associated with frailty. The GNRI could be used as a simple tool in detecting nutritional risk and frailty status of older patients.
