Association of malnutrition with cognitive frailty in China: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Frontiers in public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Background: With an aging population, China faces a growing burden of age-related health conditions, including cognitive frailty and malnutrition. This study aimed to investigate the current status of malnutrition in individuals with cognitive frailty in China and to assess the association between the two conditions. Methods: We conducted a comprehensive search of databases including PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, Embase, Cochrane Library, CNKI, Wanfang, and Weipu up to April 26, 2024. Meta-analysis was performed using Stata/MP 16, with sensitivity and subgroup analyses to explore heterogeneity, and Begg's and Egger's tests to assess publication bias, applying the trim-and-fill method for correction. Results: Of 2,077 records, 19 were included. The pooled prevalence of cognitive frailty was 26% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.17-0.36, Conclusion: Malnutrition is prevalent among individuals with cognitive frailty in China. Given its higher prevalence in community settings than in hospitals, early screening and specific interventions are crucial to address this issue.
