Low prognostic nutritional index associated with cardiovascular disease mortality in incident peritoneal dialysis 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
purposeThe prognostic nutritional index (PNI), a variable based on serum albumin concentration and total lymphocyte count in peripheral blood, is reported as a predictor of mortality in a variety of malignant tumor population. This study is aimed to evaluate whether PNI has prognostic value in patients on peritoneal dialysis (PD).
methodsThis was a single-center, retrospective observational cohort study conducted in incident PD patients from January 1, 2006 to June 30, 2014, and followed until June 30, 2015. The associations of PNI levels with mortality were evaluated by Kaplan-Meier method and Cox proportional hazards models.
resultsA total of 345 patients were included in this study. Median PNI level at baseline was 40.7 (range: 18.8-75.5) for all patients. During follow-up, 59 (17.1%) died during follow-up, among which 31 (52.5%) were due to cardiovascular diseases (CVD). In crude analysis, the patients with low PNI had a significant increase risk of CVD and all-cause mortality [hazard ratio (HR) 3.07, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.51-6.25 and HR 2.18, 95% CI 1.28-3.72, respectively)]. After adjusting age, Davies comorbidity score, hemoglobin and leukocytes, the patients with low PNI still had a significant increased risk of CVD mortality (HR 2.37, 95% CI 1.10-5.12). However, there was no significant difference in risk of all-cause mortality (HR 1.72, 95% CI 0.97-3.06).
conclusionsLow PNI at initiation of PD was independently associated with an increased CVD mortality.
