Clinical, Metabolic, and Behavioral Correlates of Nutritional Status in Chronic Heart Failure.
Article in Nutrients, 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
backgroundHeart failure (HF) is a chronic condition associated with frequent hospitalizations and impaired quality of life. Malnutrition is common in HF and is linked to adverse clinical outcomes, while self-care is an important component of HF management. This study aimed to examine the associations between nutritional status, self-care behaviors, and clinical characteristics in patients with chronic HF.
methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted among 100 hospitalized HF patients (mean age 75.9 ± 9.8 years; 63% men). Nutritional status was assessed using the Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA), and self-care using the nine-item European Heart Failure Self-care Behaviour Scale (9-EHFScBS). Clinical variables included NYHA class, LVEF, comorbidities, BMI, and laboratory parameters. Comparative analyses and multivariate linear regression were performed.
resultsPatients who were malnourished or at risk of malnutrition had significantly higher NT-proBNP levels (
conclusionsIn patients with chronic heart failure, nutritional status is associated with disease severity, metabolic parameters, comorbidity burden, BMI, and self-care behaviors. These findings support the importance of routine nutritional screening as part of comprehensive HF management.
