Association Between Malnutrition and Food Texture Levels in Integrated Facilities for Medical and Long-Term Care.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectives
methodsThis single-center study had a retrospective cross-sectional design. The study was conducted from November 1 to 30, 2021, and the study participants were residents admitted to an IFMLC during the study period. Malnutrition was diagnosed according to the Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) criteria. Food texture levels consumed by patients at admission were categorized based on the International Dysphagia Diet Standardization Initiative (IDDSI) framework. Multivariate logistic regression models were used to determine the association between the food texture levels consumed and malnutrition.
resultsA total of 98 older residents were analyzed in this study. The median age of the participants was 88 years, and 68 (69%) female participants were included. The IDDSI framework levels were 24% in levels 7 and 6 and 26% in levels 5 and 4. A significant difference in the prevalence of low BMI, reduced muscle mass, and reduced food intake or assimilation was noted between IDDSI framework levels 4 and 7. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed for malnutrition, adjusting simultaneously for potential confounders. IDDSI level 4 (odds ratio, 5.074; 95% confidence interval, 1.059-28.092; p=0.042) consumption was independently associated with malnutrition.
conclusionsThe consumption of lower food texture levels categorized using the IDDSI framework was associated with a higher malnutrition prevalence in IFMLC residents.
