Evaluation of the Relationship between Nutritional Status of COVID-19 Patients Admitted to the ICU and Patients' Prognosis: A Cohort Study.
Article in Journal of nutrition and metabolism, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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: Malnutrition in COVID-19 critically ill patients can lead to poor prognosis. This study aimed to evaluate the association between nutritional status (or risk) and the prognosis of critically ill COVID-19 patients. In this study, prognosis is the primary outcome of "hospital mortality" patients. The second outcome is defined as "need for mechanical ventilation." Methods and Materials: In this single-center prospective cohort study, 110 patients admitted to the Intensive Care Unit of Imam Khomeini Hospital Complex (Tehran, Iran) between April and September 2021 were enrolled. Participants formed a consecutive sample. MNA-SF, NRS-2002, mNUTRIC, and PNI scores were used to evaluate nutritional assessment. Patients' lab results and pulse oximetric saturation SpO Results: Sixty-five (59.1%) of all patients were men. The overall range of age was 52 ± 15. Thirty-six (32.7%) of patients were obese (BMI ≥ 30). The hospital mortality rate was 59.1% ( Conclusion: In the critical care setting of COVID-19 patients, malnutrition is prevalent. Malnutrition (nutritional risk) is associated with an increased risk of need for mechanical ventilation and in-hospital mortality. Patients with a history of HTN, CKD, DM, and cancer are more likely to be at nutritional risk at the time of ICU admission.
