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
Objective: The objective of this paper was to understand the nutritional status of hospitalized children and explore the clinical application value of the modified STRONGkids and PYMS screening tools. Methods: Nutritional risk screening was performed using the modified STRONGkids and PYMS tools on 302 children admitted to the pediatric department of our hospital between April 2021 and March 2023. Differences in clinical outcomes and biochemical indicators under different nutritional statuses were analyzed. Results: Overall, 302 children were included in the current study. The modified STRONGkids screening tool identified 18 (5.96%) children at high risk of malnutrition, 210 (69.54%) at moderate risk, and 74 (24.50%) at low risk. The PYMS screening tool identified 16 (5.30%) children at high risk, 152 (50.33%) at moderate risk, and 134 (44.37%) at low risk. According to WHO nutritional assessment standards, 150 (49.67%) children were identified as borderline malnourished or malnourished. Both the modified STRONGkids and PYMS evaluations indicated that children with digestive system diseases had a significantly higher risk of malnutrition compared with those who had other systemic diseases. Moreover, children under 1 year of age had a significantly higher risk of malnutrition compared with other age groups ( Conclusion: Children with digestive system diseases and those under 1 year of age are at high risk for malnutrition. Both the modified STRONGkids and PYMS tools can effectively identify children at risk of malnutrition, with the modified STRONGkids tool demonstrating better application results.
