Prognostic nutritional index as a predictor of mortality in nontuberculous mycobacterial lung disease.
Article in Journal of thoracic disease, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06344000 (A Study of the Association Between Progression and Nutritional Status in Bronchiectasis), which is not on this map. Cited by 12 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.

Abstract
backgroundAlthough the association between nontuberculous mycobacterial lung disease (NTM-LD) and malnutrition is known, there are a few reports on the association between the nutritional score and death in patients with NTM-LD. This study investigated the association between the nutrition data at the time of NTM-LD diagnosis and death.
methodsA retrospective study was conducted for patients with NTM-LD who visited the Maebashi Red Cross Hospital from January 2014 to December 2018. The patients were divided into the survival and death groups and analyzed statistically.
resultsThe diagnostic criteria for NTM-LD were met by 150 patients. The median age was 70 years (range, 20-94 years). There were 51 (34.0%) men and 99 (66.0%) women. In the death group, the body mass index was significantly low, and there were significantly more patients with asthma. Further, computed tomography at the first visit revealed significantly fewer cases of the nodular bronchiectasis type. In the hematologic examination at the time of NTM-LD diagnosis, the white blood cell, neutrophil, and platelet counts and C-reactive protein and serum calcium levels were significantly higher in the death group, while the serum albumin level was significantly lower. In the death group, the prognostic nutritional index (PNI), calculated from the hematologic findings, was significantly lower, while the Glasgow Prognostic Score (GPS) was significantly higher. A logistic regression analysis was performed on items with significant differences, and the PNI and platelet count were independent factors predicting death.
conclusionsPNI might be effective as a prognostic factor for NTM-LD.
