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
backgroundEarly diagnosis of malnutrition is essential for rapid decision-making regarding nutrition care to improve patient outcomes. We aimed to evaluate the prevalence of malnutrition using the Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) criteria and to assess the association of GLIM with 1-year mortality and length of hospital stay (LOS) in patients admitted to an emergency department (ED).
methodsProspective cohort study conducted in the ED of a university hospital. Nutrition assessment included anthropometry, Subjective Global Assessment (SGA), and GLIM criteria. The receiver operating characteristic curves and logistic regression were used for analysis.
resultsThe SGA identified 53.9% of patients as malnourished and the GLIM criteria, 50.9%. GLIM showed good accuracy compared with the SGA, with an area under the curve (86.8%) and high sensitivity (84.8%) and specificity (88.8%) values. Malnutrition assessed by SGA demonstrated predictive validity for LOS (odds ratio [OR] = 2.2, 95% CI: 1.4-3.2; P < 0.001) and 1-year mortality (OR = 8.7; 95% CI: 4.3-17.7; P < 0.001). Similarly, malnutrition identified by GLIM increased the risk of LOS (OR = 2.2, 95% CI: 1.3-3.9; P = 0.007) and 1-year mortality (OR = 6.7, 95% CI: 3.6-12.5; P < 0.001).
conclusionGLIM criteria and SGA demonstrated predictive power for LOS and 1-year mortality. However, the GLIM criteria stand out for adopting more objective and standardized criteria, making it a viable and reproducible approach for diagnosing malnutrition in ED patients.
