Nutritional and Functional Impact of Acute SARS-CoV-2 Infection in 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
Aim: To assess the prevalence of malnutrition, frailty, and sarcopenia and the relationships between them in patients hospitalized for COVID-19. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study of the prevalence, determinants, and associations between malnutrition (GLIM 2019 criteria), sarcopenia (SARC-F scale, dynamometry, and calf circumference), and frailty (FRAIL scale) upon discharge following hospitalization for COVID 19. Results: A total of 101 patients (67.3% men, mean age 66.3 years) were recruited. Malnutrition was diagnosed in 49.5%, sarcopenia in 32.7%, and frailty in 28.7% of patients. Of the patients with malnutrition, 48% were also sarcopenic, and 42% were frail. There was a significant association between malnutrition and the severity of pneumonia according to the CURB-65 scale (odds ratio [OR] 2.61, p = 0.036), between sarcopenia and a Barthel score lower than 60 points (OR 29.52, p < 0.001), and between frailty and both a Barthel score lower than 60 points (OR 32.27, p < 0.001) and a length of hospital stay of over 30 days (OR 9.11, p = 0.008). Conclusions: Malnutrition, sarcopenia, and frailty are prevalent and interrelated entities in patients hospitalized for acute SARS CoV-2 infection, especially in patients with greater baseline functional impairment prior to admission and a higher infection severity.
