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
purposeFunctional and nutritional impairments adversely affect outcomes in hematologic malignancies; however, the comparative prognostic value of widely available screening instruments remains insufficiently explored. The present study aimed to examine the association between nutritional and functional screening instruments and 12-month mortality in hospitalized patients with hematologic malignancies.
methodsIn this prospective cohort of 91 patients (median age 53 years [IQR, 35-61]), nutritional screening and assessment tools (PG-SGA, GLIM criteria) and functional screening instruments (SARC-F, SARC-CalF, and Geriatric 8 [G8]) were applied within 72 h of admission. The G8 was pragmatically used as a multidimensional vulnerability screening instrument. Discriminative ability for mortality was evaluated using ROC curve analysis, and Cox regression models (unadjusted and adjusted) were used to examine associations with mortality.
resultsDuring follow-up, 29.7% of patients died. The G8 and SARC-CalF were associated with mortality in adjusted models (HR 4.83, 95% CI 1.13-20.68; HR 2.37, 95% CI 1.08-5.17, respectively). PG-SGA Global showed acceptable discriminative performance in ROC analyses (AUC 0.71) but was not associated with mortality after adjustment. GLIM criteria were not associated with mortality in adjusted models.
conclusionThe G8 and SARC-CalF scores have demonstrated prognostic utility as simple and low-cost screening tools associated with mortality in these patients with hematological malignancies hospitalized in a resource-limited service.
