Risk Factors of Malnutrition in Children with Cystic Fibrosis: A 14-year Retrospective Study from Saudi Arabia.
Article in Saudi journal of medicine & medical sciences. 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
Background: Malnutrition is a common concern in children with cystic fibrosis, impacting their growth and lung function. Despite its significance, research on malnutrition risk factors in children with cystic fibrosis is limited in Saudi Arabia. Objectives: This study aimed to determine the nutritional status and its associated factors in children with cystic fibrosis. Methods: This retrospective study included all pediatric patients (aged <18 years) with cystic fibrosis who were followed in the pediatric pulmonology clinic at a tertiary care hospital in Dammam, Saudi Arabia, between January 2010 and July 2023. Results: A total of 48 children with cystic fibrosis were included (mean age: 9.7 ± 5.6 years; females: 70.8%). The mean body mass index-for-age/weight-for-length Conclusions: In this cohort from Saudi Arabia, the prevalence of malnutrition among children with cystic fibrosis was high. In addition, factors associated with malnutrition in this population were age, poor appetite and intake, delayed diagnosis, and uncontrolled fat malabsorption.
