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.

Abstract

Background: To investigate the current status of nutritional risk, malnutrition, and nutritional therapy among hospitalized patients in Hunan Province, in order to provide evidence for optimizing clinical nutrition decision-making. Methods: A multi-stage continuous sampling method was applied to survey hospitalized patients across 16 hospitals in Hunan Province from March 2022 to August 2023. Nutritional risk was assessed using the Nutritional Risk Screening 2002 (NRS2002), while malnutrition was diagnosed according to the Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) criteria. Nutritional intervention status during hospitalization was recorded. Results: Among 3,189 participants, 36.4% (1,160/3,189) were identified as being at nutritional risk (NRS2002 ≥ 3), and of these, 68.2% (791/1,160) were diagnosed with malnutrition. Malnourished patients were older (65 ± 15 vs. 60 ± 13 years, Conclusion: This study underscores a dual challenge in clinical nutritional management: insufficient support for high-risk patients alongside the overuse of nutritional therapy in low-risk populations. There is an urgent need to implement standardized protocols for screening, assessment, diagnosis, intervention, and monitoring to improve clinical outcomes and promote the rational allocation of healthcare resources.
