Interrater reliability of routine screening for risk of malnutrition with the Mini Nutritional Assessment Short-Form in hospital.
Observational study in European journal of clinical nutrition, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
BACKGROUND/
objectivesThe Mini Nutritional Assessment Short-Form (MNA-SF) is the recommended screening tool for older persons. Data on interrater reliability in clinical routine are rare. Thus, we wanted to quantify the interrater reliability of the MNA-SF in hospital. SUBJECTS/
methodsThis observational cross-sectional study was undertaken retrospectively. The study population comprised 105 participants. Risk of malnutrition was measured twice with the routine MNA-SF performed by nurses (within 24 h after admission) and a dedicated dietician (one to three days after the first MNA-SF). The MNA-SF score was analyzed for interrater reliability between nurse and dietician.
resultsParticipants' mean age was 82.4 (±7.1) years and 71 (68%) were women. The mean total MNA-SF score was 7.4 (±2.4) assessed by dietician and 7.8 (±2.3) assessed by nurse. The intra-class correlation coefficient between the total MNA-SF scores was 0.74 (0.61; 0.82), indicating moderate reliability. For the MNA-SF nutritional status, Cohens Kappa was 0.37 (p < 0.05) showing a fair agreement.
conclusionMultiple misclassifications were observed between malnutrition and risk of malnutrition. Because mean scores were near the border between malnutrition and risk of malnutrition, we recommend to consider the total MNA-SF score in addition to the three risk groups to assess nutritional risk in geriatric hospital patients.
