1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Introduction: The global population of the elderly with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is growing due to improvement in DM care and increased life expectancy. Malnutrition is a recognized complication of DM especially in the elderly. However, despite the impact of malnutrition on the overall outcome of the elderly with DM, it has not received adequate attention. Aim: To determine the prevalence of malnutrition and associated factors in the elderly with T2DM. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study that involved 96 elderly with T2DM and 96 age and sex matched elderly without T2DM as controls. Malnutrition was assessed using mini-nutritional assessment-short form (MNA-SF), hypoalbuminemia and body mass index (BMI). The factors associated with some malnutrition indices were determined. Results: The mean age of T2DM and non-T2DM groups were 66.73 ± 5.18 years and 66.78 ± 5.25 years respectively. The observed malnutrition indices among elderly with T2DM and controls were hypoalbuminemia (79.2% vs 25.0%; Conclusion: Malnutrition is highly prevalent in elderly with T2DM. Poor glycemic control, albuminuria and male gender were significant predictors of malnutrition in this study. Nutritional assessment should be included in the routine DM care especially among the elderly.
