Trends of Underweight Malnutrition Among Chinese Residents Aged 60 Years and Above - China, 1992-2015.
Article in China CDC weekly, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
WHAT IS ALREADY KNOWN ABOUT THIS TOPIC?: The prevalence of underweight malnutrition largely decreased in Chinese adults in recent thirty years while obesity became increasingly concerning. However, underweight malnutrition still affected elderly populations and increased risk of anemia, infection diseases, some non-communicable chronic diseases and disability. WHAT IS ADDED BY THIS REPORT?: In this study, data from 4 national surveys from 1992 to 2015 were analyzed to study underweight malnutrition. There was an 80.5% reduction for underweight malnutrition nationally, including a 67.5% reduction in rural areas and 67.4% in urban areas, and 76.2% in males and 79.4% in females. WHAT ARE THE IMPLICATIONS FOR PUBLIC HEALTH PRACTICE?: Underweight malnutrition seriously affects the health and quality of life for older people and will lead to heavy burdens for families and society overall. Therefore, efforts should be maintained to screen, treat, and safeguard elderly populations with underweight malnutrition using nutritional improvement strategies, especially for the oldest elderly individuals in rural areas.
