A Novel Nutritional Index Serves as A Useful Prognostic Indicator in Cardiac Critical Patients Requiring Mechanical Circulatory Support.
Observational study in Nutrients, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 25 papers.
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
backgroundA poor nutritional status has been gathering intense clinical interest recently as it has been suggested to associate with adverse outcomes in patients in the intensive care unit (ICU). However, there is still no established nutritional index dominantly used in clinical practice. We have previously proposed a novel nutritional index, which can be calculated using serum levels of triglycerides, total cholesterol, and body weight (TCBI). In this study, to expand the application of TCBI for critical patients, we investigated the usefulness of TCBI to predict prognosis in hemodynamically unstable patients with percutaneously implantable mechanical circulatory support (MCS) devices in the ICU. PATIENTS AND
methodsThis is a retrospective analysis of a multicenter registry consisting of three Juntendo University hospitals in Japan involving patients who received MCS devices, including intra-aortic balloon pumping (IABP) with or without veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO), between 2012 and 2016 (
resultsSpearman's correlation coefficient between TCBI and the geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI) was 0.44 (
conclusionA novel and simple to calculate nutritional index, TCBI, can be applicable as a prognostic indicator in hemodynamically unstable patients requiring MCS devices.
