Prognostic impact of glim-defined malnutrition and phase angle in patients with digestive tumors.
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/Objectives: Disease-related malnutrition is frequent among patients with digestive neoplasms and is associated with poorer prognosis. The Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) criteria have been proposed to standardize its diagnosis; however, their prognostic value in combination with morphofunctional parameters remains insufficiently defined. This study aimed to analyze the association between GLIM-defined malnutrition, phase angle (PhA), and overall survival in patients with digestive cancer. Methods: We conducted a retrospective longitudinal study including 131 adult patients with digestive neoplasms. Nutritional status was established according to GLIM criteria. Morphofunctional assessment consisted of bioelectrical impedance analysis with PhA determination, muscle ultrasound, and handgrip strength. Overall survival was evaluated using Kaplan-Meier curves and Cox regression models adjusted for age and sex. Results: Significant differences between the three GLIM categories were observed for several bioimpedance-derived parameters, including body cell mass (BCM), fat-free mass (FFM), and appendicular skeletal muscle mass (ASMM) ( Conclusion: GLIM-defined malnutrition is independently associated with overall survival in patients with digestive cancer. Phase angle provides additional prognostic information and improves risk stratification.
