Malnutrition and its multidimensional determinants in institutionalized older adults: a cross-sectional study from resource-limited nursing homes in China.
Article in Scientific reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
China’s rapidly aging population faces disproportionate malnutrition risks in under-resourced nursing homes, particularly in Southwest regions with fragmented healthcare systems. To assess the nutritional status and its influencing factors among older adult residents in nursing homes in Nan Chong, Southwest China.A cross-sectional study was conducted from February 2023 to March 2024, involving 205 older adult participants aged ≥ 60 years. Nutritional status was evaluated using the Mini-Nutritional Assessment Short-Form (MNA-SF), while sarcopenia, sleep quality, depression, and social support were assessed using validated scales. Descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, and multiple linear regression were performed. Among participants, 19.02% were malnourished, and 42.44% were at risk of malnutrition. Lower BMI (B = 0.256, P < 0.001), higher sarcopenia risk (B = -0.385, P < 0.001), and lower social support (B = -0.076, P = 0.008) were significant predictors of malnutrition. Malnutrition is prevalent among nursing home residents in Southwest China, with BMI, sarcopenia, and social support being key determinants. Targeted interventions should focus on improving dietary intake, muscle health, and social engagement.
