Role of Malnutrition in Atrial Fibrillation: A Prospective Study including Individuals ≥ 75 Years of Age.
Article in Nutrients, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
backgroundAtrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common rhythm disorder in the elderly. The AF can cause life-threatening thromboembolic complications. Therefore, there is a need to determine the risk factors of AF. In this study, we aimed to examine the association of markers of malnutrition with AF in individuals aged 75 years and older and to find the factors that may affect mortality.
methodsIn this prospective study, 358 consecutive individuals aged 75 years and older presenting to the cardiology outpatient clinic were included. All participants were divided into AF and sinus rhythm (SR) groups. In addition, a questionnaire and scoring system were used to assess malnutrition status. Information was obtained from all patients through outpatient clinic visits or telephone interviews for one year. Death from any cause was considered as the endpoint.
resultsAF was observed in 71 (19.8%) patients. Death was higher in patients with AF (
conclusionsScreening for malnutrition in the elderly is essential. According to GLIM criteria, malnutrition may play a role in the development of AF and increase one-year mortality in the elderly.
