Malnutrition Risk Among Hospitalized Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and Its Association With Hospital Length.
Article in Public health challenges, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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: Estimating malnutrition risk among hospitalized patients is challenging, yet critical due to its association with adverse outcomes such as prolonged hospital stays, increased mortality, impaired wound healing, depression, and increased hospital costs. This research study aims to evaluate the risk of malnutrition among Type 2 diabetic hospitalized patients and its impact on the patient's length of stay in two tertiary hospitals based in Kigali. Method: In this retrospective cross-sectional study, 300 adult hospitalized Type 2 diabetic patients from Kigali's tertiary hospitals were enrolled between January 2021 and October 2022. Data collected include demographics, anthropometrics, serum albumin, and length of hospital stay. The nutrition risk index was used to determine malnutrition risk. Results: Overall, 55.3% of hospitalized Type 2 diabetes patients was found to be at risk of malnutrition on the basis of the nutrition risk index. Gender distribution showed no significant difference ( Conclusion: A study finds high malnutrition risk in hospitalized Type 2 diabetes patients, linked to longer stays and poor outcomes. Early malnutrition screening, proper nutrition support, and a multidisciplinary care team are crucial for improved clinical care and cost-effectiveness.
