Malnutrition by the GLIM criterion and reduced HGS are associated with anthropometric indicators in hospitalized patients.

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
In the hospital environment, anthropometry is commonly used to assess nutritional status. To assess whether muscle strength and malnutrition, as defined by the GLIM (global leadership initiative on malnutrition) criteria, are associated with anthropometric indicators in hospitalized patients. In a cross-sectional study, body mass index (BMI), mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC), triceps skinfold thickness (TSF), arm muscle circumference (AMC), calf circumference (CC), body weight loss, HGS, and GLIM criteria were investigated. The Chi-square, Fisher, and Mann-Whitney tests were used for comparisons, and the Kappa coefficient for agreement analyses. Univariate and multivariate logistic regressions were used to investigate the association between the GLIM criterion and FPM and anthropometric indicators. HGS (p = 0.0004, OR = 15.193, 95% CI = 3.397; 67,956) and the GLIM criterion (p = 0.0002, OR = 6,142, 95% CI = 2,352; 16,035) were associated with CC < 31 cm. Age (p = 0.0019, OR = 1.054, 95% CI = 1.020; 1,090), the mean HGS (p = 0.0064, OR = 4,094, 95%CI = 1,487; 11.265), and the GLIM criterion (p = 0.0005, OR = 4.798, 95% CI = 1.994; 11,548) were associated with BMI (a higher chance of low body weight by BMI). Reduced HGS and malnutrition, as defined by the GLIM criterion, are associated with CC. Age, HGS, and the GLIM criterion are associated with low body weight, as measured by BMI. These findings reinforce the relevance of using these tools for nutritional care in the hospital setting.
