Association between malnutrition and all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in Chinese adults with hypertension: a prospective cohort study.
Article in BMC public health, 2026. 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
objectiveThere is a paucity of data regarding the association between malnutrition and mortality in China. This study aimed to explore the association between the geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI) and all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in Chinese adults with hypertension.
methodsA total of 14,221 participants with hypertension (mean age, 63.8 ± 9.4 years; 47.2% males) were included in a prospective cohort analysis. GNRI was calculated using the following formula: [1.489 × serum albumin (g/L)]﹢[41.7 × (actual weight/ideal weight)]. The primary outcomes of this study were all-cause and cardiovascular mortalities. Cox regression analysis, restricted cubic spline analysis, and Kaplan-Meier curves were used to evaluate the association between GNRI and mortality.
resultsOver a mean follow-up of 3.9 years, 805 deaths were recorded, of which 397 were due to cardiovascular disease. Overall, GNRI was significantly negatively associated with all-cause and cardiovascular mortality. Compared with participants with normal nutritional status, the hazard ratios for all-cause and cardiovascular mortality were 1.78 (95% CI: 1.41-2.24) and 1.66 (95% CI: 1.17-2.33) among those with mild malnutrition, and 2.13 (95% CI: 1.46-3.11) and 2.38 (95% CI: 1.41-4.02) among those with moderate-to-severe malnutrition, respectively. The association between GNRI and all-cause (P for interaction = 0.004) and cardiovascular mortality (P for interaction = 0.002) was stronger in non-overweight individuals (body mass index (BMI) < 24 kg/m2) than in those who were overweight (BMI ≥ 24 kg/m2).
conclusionMalnutrition independently increases the risk of all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in individuals with hypertension.
