1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 common among patients with hematologic malignancies, but there are few clinical studies on disease-specific nutritional characteristics and the appropriateness of nutritional support. Methods: This cross-sectional study included 633 hospitalized patients with hematologic malignancies. Nutritional risk was assessed using the NRS-2002, malnutrition was diagnosed according to GLIM criteria, and the appropriateness of nutritional support was evaluated. Results: 54.0% of patients were at nutritional risk, and 39.0% were diagnosed with malnutrition. Significant heterogeneity was observed across different disease subtypes, with multiple myeloma having the highest prevalence of nutritional risk (66.3%) and leukemia having the highest prevalence of malnutrition (44.9%). Female gender, diabetes, hypertension, elevated C-reactive protein, infection, and low serum albumin levels were independent risk factors associated with malnutrition. Only 15.6% of patients received nutritional support; fewer than one-third of malnourished patients received nutritional intervention, while 7.0% of well-nourished patients received nutritional support without clear indications. Conclusion: There is significant heterogeneity in the nutritional status of hospitalized patients with hematologic malignancies, and a marked mismatch exists between nutritional needs and nutritional support. Disease-specific nutritional management based on the GLIM assessment may improve the appropriateness of nutritional support and optimize clinical outcomes.
