Association between Undernutrition at Admission and Improvement in Balance Function Post-stroke.
Article in JMA journal, 2025. 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
Introduction: The prognosis for activities of daily living (ADL) ability after stroke is negatively influenced by undernutrition and impaired balance. However, the association between undernutrition and balance improvement has not yet been elucidated. This study aimed to investigate the influence of undernutrition on balance function improvement in patients with stroke. Methods: This retrospective observational study included patients with cerebral infarction aged ≥65 years. The study period was from May 2018 to May 2022. The patients were divided into undernutrition and intact nutrition groups according to the Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition criteria. The primary outcome was the change in the Berg Balance Scale (BBS) score (BBS score at discharge - BBS score at admission). Results: This study included 304 patients (mean age, 79.2 ± 8.1 years; 173 men and 131 women). These patients were divided into the undernutrition (N = 114) and intact nutrition (N = 190) groups. The undernutrition group demonstrated lower BBS scores at admission (16.0 ± 17.1 vs. 28.3 ± 18.4, Conclusions: Undernutrition negatively influences balance function recovery in post-stroke patients. A strategy aimed at improving nutritional status could have beneficial effects on patients' balance function.
