Prognostic value of the c-reactive protein/prognostic nutritional index ratio after hip fracture surgery in the elderly population.
Article in Oncotarget, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
backgroundMore and more older patients receive the surgery after hip fracture. However, the mortality rate is high. Prognostic nutritional index (PNI) is associated with prognosis in hip fracture patients. In the current study, we proposed a novel prognostic score, named c-reactive protein/PNI ratio (CRP/PNI ratio), for predicting the prognosis for geriatric orthopedic population.
methodsThis is a prospective study. Eighty cases of hip fracture surgery in the elderly population were studied to reveal the relationship between the CRP/PNI ratio and the clinicopathological characteristics of the elderly patients. Clinical data included age, sex, weight, length of stay, duration of surgery, comorbidity, and biological data were collected. The primary endpoint was the 1-year mortality rate.
resultsCox regression and log-rank tests were used to evaluate the correlation of CRP/PNI to the one-year mortality. The one-year mortality rate was low in the patients with a low CRP/PNI ratio (
conclusionLow CRP/PNI ratio was significantly associated with low one-year mortality rate in older patients after hip fracture surgery.
