1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Malnutrition is one of the common complications of patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc). However, several nutritional assessment tools are implemented in Thailand. The study aimed to compare the performance of nutritional assessment tools including Nutritional Assessment Form (NAF) and Nutritional Triage 2013 (NT-2013) to Subjective Global Assessment (SGA) in SSc patients. A cross-sectional diagnostic study was conducted in adult SSc patients at Srinagarind Hospital, Thailand. To elucidate the efficacy and correlations of these tools, descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation analyses, and kappa coefficient of agreement were employed. A total of 208 SSc patients were included, of which 70.7% were females. The respective mean age and body mass index was 59.3 years and 21.1 kg/m
