Association Between Malnutrition and Multi-Drug Resistant Bacterial Infections in Neurosurgical Intensive Care Unit Patients.
Article in Infection and drug resistance, 2025. 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
Aim: Patients in the neurosurgical intensive critical unit (ICU) face high rates of malnutrition and multidrug-resistant (MDR) infections. This study aimed to investigated the correlation between malnutrition and MDR bacterial infections, aiming to offer novel strategies for preventing and controlling MDR infections from the perspective of nutritional management in clinical practice. Methods: This retrospective cohort study analyzed 134 patients with MDR infections and 148 patients with non-MDR infections from November 2023 and May 2024 in neurosurgical ICU. MDR was defined as resistance to at least three antibiotic classes. Univariate, multivariate and correlation analyses were performed to explore the relationship between malnutrition and MDR infections. Results: The incidence of malnutrition risk in the MDR group was significantly higher than in the non-MDR group ( Conclusion: Malnutrition is an independent risk factor for MDR infection in neurosurgical ICU patients. This finding highlights the need for integrated interventions targeting malnutrition in MDR prevention for neurosurgical ICU patients.
