Methods for diagnosing malnutrition in patients with esophageal cancer, and the association with nutritional and inflammatory indices: A cross‑sectional study.

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
Clinically, it is important to diagnose malnutrition for the treatment and prognosis of cancer patients; however, at present, there are no established standards. The present study evaluated the consistency of malnutrition diagnostic tools in association with relevant nutritional and inflammatory markers in patients with advanced esophageal cancer. Specifically, the Patient-Generated Subjective Global Assessment (PG-SGA) and Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) tools were assessed. Patients with a new diagnosis of esophageal cancer at Tengzhou Central People's Hospital (Tengzhou, China) between January 2023 and December 2023 were evaluated within 24 h of admission using Nutritional Risk Screening 2002 (NRS2002), GLIM and PG-SGA. Additionally, relevant physical examinations and laboratory data were collected. The malnutrition occurrence rates based on PG-SGA, GLIM and GLIM with NRS2002 screening (NRS2002-GLIM) were 75.01, 51.88 and 41.25%, respectively. The agreement between PG-SGA and GLIM, and between PG-SGA and NRS2002-GLIM diagnoses was weak (κ=0.379, P<0.001; and κ=0.376, P<0.001, respectively). PG-SGA showed a moderate negative correlation with body mass index (BMI) (rs=-0.460), weak positive correlations with age (r
