The impact of sarcopenia on nutritional status in elderly patients with gastrointestinal tumors.
Article in Scientific reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
This study aimed to analyze the impact of sarcopenia on nutritional status in elderly patients with gastrointestinal tumors. We conducted a study of 146 elderly patients with gastrointestinal tumors in our hospital from January 2020 to June 2022. Patients enrolled were divided into normal nutritional status group (80 patients) and high nutritional risk group (66 patients) according to their nutritional status. The clinical information and nutritional status of the two groups were compared and analyzed. Multivariate logistic regression was done to analyze the risk factors of nutritional status in elderly patients with gastrointestinal tumors; and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to evaluate the predictive value of sarcopenia on nutritional status in elderly patients with gastrointestinal tumors. Malnutrition was present in 66 (45.21%) of 146 elderly patients with gastrointestinal cancer. There was no significant difference in gender, age, and tumor location between the two groups (P > 0.05). However, statistically significant difference was observed between the two groups in terms of BMI, tumor staging, calf circumference, the third lumbar vertebra skeletal muscle index (L3-SMI), muscle strength, 6 m walking speed, short physical performance battery (SPPB) score, PG-SGA score, and sarcopenia (p < 0.05). The independent variables were set as BMI (≤ 21.27 kg/cm
