Evaluation of Malnutrition Risk in Lung Transplant Candidates Using the Nutritional Risk Index.
Article in Transplantation direct, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
backgroundMalnutrition in lung transplant (LTx) candidates is an important risk factor for adverse outcomes. We sought to evaluate the Nutritional Risk Index (NRI) in LTx candidates, a validated measure of malnutrition risk in chronic disease. We aimed to characterize malnutrition risk using NRI, evaluate change in body weight between nutritional risk groups, and assess association of malnutrition risk with pretransplant and posttransplant outcomes.
methodsRetrospective, single-center cohort study of LTx candidates (2014-2015) evaluated by a dietitian before listing. Nutritional parameters, weight change pretransplant and posttransplant, and clinical outcomes were abstracted up to 1-year posttransplant. NRI was calculated as follows: (1.519 × albumin) + (41.7 × current weight/ideal weight) with high malnutrition risk defined as the lowest quartile of NRI for cystic fibrosis (CF) and non-CF patients.
resultsThe cohort comprises 247 LTx candidates (57% male; median age 59 y; non-CF 88%). Non-CF candidates had a greater mean NRI compared with CF patients (109 ± 11 versus 95 ± 12;
conclusionsMalnutrition risk assessed with NRI was not prognostic of posttransplant outcomes in this retrospective cohort. LTx candidates with high malnutrition risk were able to maintain their weight pretransplant and demonstrated considerable weight gain in the first-year posttransplant.
