The controlling nutritional status score predicts outcomes of cardiovascular events in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction.
Article in International journal of cardiology. Heart & vasculature, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers, 4 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
backgroundsThe relationship between cardiovascular outcomes and the Controlling Nutritional Status (CONUT) score in heart failure (HF) with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) patients is unknown. This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between the score and cardiovascular outcomes in HFpEF patients. METHODS AND
resultsA total of 506 consecutive HFpEF patients were prospectively observed for up to 1500 days or until the occurrence of cardiovascular events. The mean age was 71.6 ± 9.4 years. Cardiovascular outcomes were compared between the CONUT score 0-1 group with a normal nutritional state (normal group), the CONUT score 2-4 group with a light degree of undernutrition (light group), and the CONUT score 5-8 group with a moderate degree of undernutrition (moderate group). In this study, there were no patients who scored 9-12, which was defined as a severe state of undernutrition. Overall, 238 cardiovascular events were observed during the follow-up period (median: 1159 days). Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that the moderate group was at higher risk of composite cardiovascular events than the normal group
conclusionNutritional screening using the CONUT score may be useful for predicting cardiovascular events in HFpEF patients.
