Malnutrition could Predict 3-month Functional Prognosis in Mild Stroke Patients: Findings from a Nationwide Stroke Registry.
Article in Current neurovascular research, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
backgroundPrevious studies showed the inconsistent effects of malnutrition contributing to the poor prognosis of stroke. This study aims to explore the effect of malnutrition on 3- month functional prognosis of stroke patients with different stroke severity assessed by the national institute of health stroke scale (NIHSS).
methodsPatients with first-ever stroke were consecutively enrolled in a nationwide, multicenter, and prospective registry from March 2007 to January 2008. Nutritional status was assessed at admission. Malnutrition was defined by any abnormality of 6 nutrition indicators, including body mass index (BMI), mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC), triceps skinfold thickness (TSF), haemoglobin, albumin, and prealbumin. Stroke patients were classified into mild (NIHSS<8) and severe (NIHSS≥8) groups. Multivariable logistic regression was performed to assess the risk of poor functional prognosis (modified Rankin Scale (mRS) ≥3) at 3-month follow-up in the mild or severe patients with malnutrition at admission.
resultsA total of 755 patients with first-ever stroke were enrolled in the study. Multivariable analysis showed that malnutrition independently contributed to a higher risk of mRS 3-6 at 3-month for mild stroke patients [odds ratio (OR) 1.86, 95 % confidence interval (CI) 1.04-3.34], but didn't for severe stroke patients (OR 0.91, 95 % CI 0.53-1.54) after adjusting for confounders including age, NIHSS, and infection et al. After adjusting for the potential confounders, malnutrition was still an independent risk factor for 3-month poor functional prognosis in mild stroke patients.
conclusionFurther investigation may be needed to illustrate the effects of improving nutritional status on stroke patients.
