Can the preoperative nutritional risk score be a predictor of the outcomes in critically ill patients of lung transplantation: a retrospective study.
Article in Annals of translational medicine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
backgroundNutritional Risk Screening 2002 (NRS2002) and prognostic nutrition index (PNI) are nutritional risk screening instruments that are also used to predict the complications and morbidity after surgery. Our study aims to evaluate whether preoperative nutrition status at admission or postoperative nutrition treatment during admission for lung transplantation (LTX) was linked to clinical outcomes.
methodsThis study is a retrospective observational cohort study of 42 patients undergoing LTX. Using PNI and NRS-2002 screening instruments, patients were tested for dietary danger upon admission. Univariate and multivariate analyzes were performed to investigate the independent nutritional risk predictive value for post-operative complications, hospital length or intensive care unit (ICU) stay, and mortality.
resultsAge, the average calorie intake, parenteral nutrition within 7 days, furosemide, the time of postoperative mechanical ventilation (MV), postoperative extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) between survivor and non-survivor had a significant difference. Univariate analyses of death in LTX, age [HR 1.06 (1.00-1.13), P=0.04], the average calorie intake first 3 days [HR 0.99 (0.99-1.00), P=0.02], parenteral nutrition within 7 days [HR 0.20 (0.05-0.77), P=0.02], furosemide [HR 0.08 (0.01-0.76), P=0.02] and postoperative ECMO [HR 6.40 (1.65-24.77), P=0.00] were independent predictors for increased mortality. And multivariate analyses found that only postoperative ECMO [HR 9.59 (1.07-86.13), P=0.04] was independent predictors for increased mortality, whereas PNI and NRS2002 were not.
conclusionsPNI and NRS2002 was not an independent predictor for post-operative mortality, and postoperative ECMO was only independent predictors for increased mortality in this study.
