Prevalence of malnutrition risk in hospitalized patients: a large nationwide study.
Article in Journal of health, population, and nutrition, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
backgroundMalnutrition affects up to 50% of hospitalized patients at admission and is linked to significant adverse outcomes, impacting both patient health and healthcare resources. The aim of this nationwide study was to report the prevalence of malnutrition risk among hospitalized adult patients by Turkish Society of Clinical Enteral and Parenteral Nutrition (KEPAN).
methodsThirty-three hospitals with nutrition support teams in 29 referral hospitals in 21 different cities were included. The data was collected by web-based NRS-2002 integrated to hospital information system of all participating centers.
resultsA total of 191,028 patients (54.6% men) were included. The prevalence of malnutrition risk was found to be 11.6% among all patients and 20.4% in patients older than 65 years (22.8% in 71-80 years and 30.2% in > 80 years). Among clinics, this prevalence was highest in the intensive care units (31.9%), followed by hematology and oncology clinics (25.5%), and neurology clinics (18.7%).
conclusionThere is a considerable risk of malnutrition in hospitalized patients and this risk is more prominent in older patients and in intensive care and oncology clinics.
