The relationship between GLIM-malnutrition, post-operative complications and long-term prognosis in elderly patients undergoing colorectal cancer surgery.

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: Elderly people and patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) are both at high risk of malnutrition. Therefore, it is of great significance to explore suitable malnutrition screening and diagnostic indicators for elderly patients with CRC. Recently, the Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) proposed new diagnostic criteria for malnutrition. The aim of this article was to evaluate the diagnostic value of GLIM criteria for malnutrition in elderly colorectal patients. We explored the relationship between GLIM-malnutrition, post-operative complications and the long-term prognosis of elderly colorectal patients. Methods: Elderly patients (aged ≥65 years) who underwent CRC surgery from January 2015 to December 2018 were included. Malnutrition was diagnosed based on the GLIM criteria. The relationships between GLIM-malnutrition and clinical characteristics were analyzed by Results: A total of 385 elderly patients were included in this study, and 118 patients (30.65%) were diagnosed with malnutrition according to the GLIM criteria. GLIM-malnutrition was significantly associated with older age, lower body mass index (BMI), lower grip strength, tumor location, higher Nutrition Risk Screening 2002 (NRS-2002), and lower levels of albumin and hemoglobin. GLIM-malnutrition was an independent risk factor [odds ratio (OR): 1.753, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.100-2.795, P=0.018] for post-operative complications. Cox regression analysis showed that GLIM-malnutrition was an independent risk factor for overall survival in elderly patients with CRC. Conclusions: The GLIM criteria are feasible diagnostic criteria for malnutrition of elderly patients with CRC. GLIM-malnutrition is significantly associated with post-operative complications and overall survival in elderly patients with CRC.
