Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of the Association Between Malnutrition and Risk of Depression in the Elderly.
Review in Alpha psychiatry, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
Objective: To explore the association between malnutrition and risk of depression in the elderly. Methods: Relevant studies were searched in PubMed, Web of Science, the Cochrane Library, Scopus, and Embase from the establishment of the database to August 17, 2023. Two researchers independently screened the literature, extracted data, and evaluated the risk of bias in the included studies. Stata16.0 software was used for meta-analysis. Results: A total of 8 observational studies were identified with 11 112 participants, of which 2771 elderly patients had depression. The meta-pooled results showed a significant correlation between nutritional status and depression risk (odds ratio (OR) = 2.03, 95% CI = (1.47, 2.81), Conclusion: Malnutrition was associated with depression risk in the elderly. Further large-scale multicenter studies should be conducted to test and verify the results.
