Nutritional status and risk screening in neonatal surgery with modified screening tool for the assessment of malnutrition in pediatrics.
Article in Pediatric research, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundChildren hospitalized for surgery face malnutrition risks. This study assessed nutritional risk and status in hospitalized neonatal surgical patients using a modified Screening Tool for the Assessment of Malnutrition in Pediatrics (STAMP) combined with anthropometry.
methodsA retrospective analysis of neonatal surgical patients from December 2020 to October 2024 was conducted at a children's hospital, utilizing the modified STAMP and anthropometric measurements.
resultsAmong 2700 patients, 1712 were male (63.41%) and 988 female (36.59%). Risk classification showed 33.48% low risk, 30.22% medium risk, and 36.30% high risk, with males more frequently at medium to high risk (P < 0.001). Superficial tumors were common in low-risk patients, while gastrointestinal diseases predominated in higher-risk groups. Malnutrition was diagnosed in 27.04% of patients, with acute malnutrition more prevalent than chronic. Neonates (36.74%) exhibited higher malnutrition risk (P < 0.001). High-risk patients had lower height, weight, and biochemical levels (albumin, retinol-binding protein, prealbumin) (P < 0.001) and incurred longer hospital stays. Male sex, younger age, and formula feeding were identified as risk factors for increased malnutrition risk.
conclusionThis study provides new data on the application of the modified STAMP score combined with Z-scores in infants and neonates with surgical conditions. IMPACT: This study offers new data and theoretical insights into the application of the modified STAMP scoring system in infants and even neonates with surgical conditions. This study demonstrates the applicability of the modified STAMP scoring system in infants and neonates, providing a theoretical foundation for the future development of neonatal nutritional risk screening tools and preoperative prehabilitation strategies for infants undergoing surgery.
