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

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic consistency between the Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) criteria and the Patient-Generated Subjective Global Assessment (PG-SGA) for identifying malnutrition in patients with pancreatic malignant tumors. Methods: A total of 108 pancreatic cancer patients from our hospital with a Nutritional Risk Screening (NRS) 2002 score ≥ 3 were enrolled. Demographic and clinical data were collected. Nutritional risk was assessed using NRS 2002, while malnutrition was evaluated by PG-SGA and GLIM criteria. The diagnostic consistency between GLIM and PG-SGA was analyzed using Cohen's kappa ( Results: The mean NRS 2002 score was 3.37 ± 0.98, with 75.0% (81/108) of patients identified as being at nutritional risk. Significant differences in nutritional risk were observed based on age, Body Mass Index (BMI), tumor stage, and tumor size ( Conclusion: Patients with pancreatic malignant tumors exhibit a high prevalence of nutritional risk and malnutrition. The GLIM criteria and PG-SGA demonstrate good consistency in diagnosing malnutrition in this patient population. Both tools effectively identify patients with functional deficits and poorer clinical outcomes, supporting the utility of GLIM as a practical assessment tool in clinical settings.
