Association between nutritional status at admission and inadequate bowel preparation in inflammatory bowel disease patients: a retrospective cohort study.
Article in Frontiers in nutrition, 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
Background: Malnutrition is highly prevalent among patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). However, the relationship between nutritional status and the quality of bowel preparation in this population remains unexplored. Aims: This study aims to investigate the association between nutritional status at admission and inadequate bowel preparation in patients with IBD. Methods: This retrospective cohort study included 697 patients diagnosed with IBD at Chongqing General Hospital between 2021 and 2025. Nutritional status was comprehensively evaluated using three validated screening tools: the Prognostic Nutritional Index (PNI), the Nutritional Risk Index (NRI), and the Nutritional Risk Screening (NRS). Logistic regression analyses were performed to identify predictors of inadequate bowel preparation. Restricted cubic spline analysis was employed to examine potential nonlinear relationships, and subgroup analysis was performed to explore possible interactions. Furthermore, predictive performance was assessed and compared using receiver operating characteristic curves, net reclassification improvement, and integrated discrimination improvement. Results: The prevalence of malnutrition in patients with IBD, as assessed by the PNI, NRS, and NRI, was 6.3, 8.8, and 28.0%, respectively. Logistic regression analysis identified PNI, NRS, and NRI as independent risk factors for inadequate bowel preparation. Restricted cubic spline analysis revealed significant nonlinear relationships between inadequate bowel preparation and nutritional status, particularly as measured by PNI and NRI. Significant effects were observed in specific subgroups. Among the three indices, the NRI demonstrated the best predictive performance in this study. Conclusion: Nutritional status assessed at admission may be an independent predictor of inadequate bowel preparation in patients with inflammatory bowel disease.
