1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

purposeGeriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI) is one of the new tools to determine nutritional status in the elderly. This study assessed the association between GNRI and muscular strength through handgrip strength (HGS) in patients undergoing hemodialysis.

methodsThis cross-sectional analytical study assessed 110 hemodialysis patients at Guilan, North of Iran, (mean age of 70.3 ± 6.93), 57 men and 53 women through simple random sampling. Demographic characteristics, GNRI, and HGS of patients were determined. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics, including independent t test, AVOVA, Pearson correlation, and linear multiple regression tests.

resultsThe mean values of the GNRI and HGS were 93.90 ± 11.06 and 14.82 ± 3.72, respectively. Finally, it was identified that there is a direct and significant association between GNRI and HGS (p = 0.001, r = 0.734). Linear multiple regression showed that GNRI is an independent predictor of HGS (Adj.R

conclusionGNRI can be used as a predictor of muscular strength in hemodialysis patients.
