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
Malnutrition and hypoalbuminemia are critical health challenges among hospitalized older adults, contributing to increased morbidity, prolonged hospital stays, and higher mortality risks. In this cross-sectional study, we aimed to determine the prevalence and factors associated with hypoalbuminemia and malnutrition risk in older inpatients at Military Hospital 354, Hanoi, Vietnam, from January-June 2025. A total of 264 patients aged 65 and older were recruited from geriatric, internal medicine, and rehabilitation wards. Hypoalbuminemia was defined as serum albumin levels <35 g/L, and malnutrition risk was assessed using the Mini Nutritional Assessment-Short Form (MNA-SF; score < 12). Data on demographic (age, sex, education, cohabitation) and clinical/biochemical factors (primary diagnosis, hemoglobin, lymphocyte, zinc, ferritin) were collected within 48 hours of admission. The prevalence of hypoalbuminemia was 33.0%, and 73.5% of patients were malnourished or at risk of malnutrition. Multivariable logistic regression identified older age (
