Malnutrition and Sarcopenia in COVID-19 Survivors.
Review in Clinics in geriatric medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 21 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
Malnutrition has been one of the most common complications of older COVID-19 survivors. COVID-19 associated symptoms like loss of appetite as well as changes in taste and smell may trigger the deterioration of nutritional status, while other complications of the disease may contribute to it, like respiratory failure that necessitates admission to the ICU. Especially in nursing home residents reduced food intake may be related to preexisting and also to incident geriatric syndromes like delirium. Sarcopenia has also been highly prevalent in older COVID-19 survivors. It is caused and exacerbated by COVID-19-associated inflammatory processes, total or partial immobilization, and malnutrition. COVID-19 survivors may be at high risk of developing the vicious circle that results from the interaction of deteriorating nutritional status and declining functionality. Regular monitoring of nutritional and functional status is, therefore, indicated in all older COVID-19 survivors. If malnutrition and/or functional decline have been identified in this patient population, low-threshold provision of individualized nutritional and exercise interventions should be installed. In those that are most seriously affected by malnutrition and sarcopenia ambulatory or inpatient rehabilitation has to be considered. Geriatric rehabilitation programs should be specifically adapted to the needs of older patients with COVID-19.
