Prognostic value of the CIPA nutritional screening tool in over 30,000 hospitalized patients: a retrospective study (2014-2022).

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
Introduction: Malnutrition is a well-established negative prognostic factor in hospitalized patients, contributing to increased morbidity and mortality. The CIPA (Control of Food Intake, Protein, and Anthropometry) screening tool was developed to identify patients at nutritional risk and to predict adverse clinical outcomes across both surgical and non-surgical populations. This study aimed to evaluate the prognostic value of the CIPA tool in routine clinical practice by analyzing its association with key clinical outcomes since its implementation at our center in 2014. Materials and methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of inpatients screened with the CIPA tool between 2014 and 2022 in a tertiary care hospital. The association between CIPA screening results and clinical outcomes-including 3- and 6-month mortality, early hospital readmission, and length of stay-was assessed, with a particular focus on patients with active oncological disease. Regression analyses were adjusted for age, sex, admitting department, and type of admission. Results: A total of 30,581 patients were included, of whom 31.4% screened positive for malnutrition using the CIPA tool. CIPA-positive patients had significantly higher mortality at 3 months (adjusted OR 3.02; 95% CI: 2.78-3.30; Discussion: In this large, real-world cohort, the CIPA nutritional screening tool was a robust predictor of poorer clinical outcomes among hospitalized patients with positive screening results. These findings support the utility of CIPA screening for early identification of high-risk patients, enabling targeted nutritional interventions to potentially mitigate adverse outcomes.
