Assessment of nutritional status in chronically dialyzed patients: high prevalence of malnutrition based on subjective global assessment, simplified nutritional appetite questionnaire, anthropometry and serum albumin analysis - a cross-sectional study.
Article in Annals of medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
introductionMalnutrition is common in dialysis patients and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Body Mass Index (BMI) may underestimate nutritional disturbances; therefore, multidimensional assessment is recommended. This study evaluated nutritional status, appetite and risk of weight loss in chronically dialyzed patients, and compared different methods, Subjective Global Assessment (SGA), Simplified Nutritional Appetite Questionnaire (SNAQ), anthropometry and biochemical markers.
methodsA total of 105 chronically dialyzed patients were included (88.6% on hemodialysis, 11.4% on peritoneal dialysis). Nutritional status was assessed using SGA (seven-point scale), SNAQ, anthropometry (BMI, mid-arm circumference), and serum concentrations of albumin and C-reactive protein (CRP) as the markers of nutritional and inflammatory status. The Shapiro-Wilk test was used for normality; group comparisons employed Student's
resultsMalnutrition, according to SGA (≤5 points), was present in 54.3% of patients, whereas BMI <20 kg/m
conclusionsMalnutrition is highly prevalent in Polish dialysis patients and is linked with appetite impairment, elevated CRP, reduced albumin and poorer clinical status. BMI alone is insufficient to detect nutritional disturbances. Regular use of multidimensional tools (SGA, SNAQ, albumin) should be employed to enhance the early detection and management of malnutrition in patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD).
