1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundGeriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI) is a promising tool for predicting nutrition-related complications. This meta-analysis sought to determine the prognostic utility of GNRI in elderly patients with heart failure.

methodsWe comprehensively searched the PubMed and Embase databases from their inception to July 2019. Original studies investigating the prognostic value of GNRI in patients with heart failure were included. Outcome of interests were all-cause mortality and major cardiovascular events. The prognostic value of GNRI was expressed as risk ratios (RR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) for the lowest versus the highest GNRI category or continuous GNRI analysis.

resultsEleven articles (10 studies) involving 10,589 elderly heart failure patients were included. Meta-analysis indicated that heart failure patients with the lowest GNRI had an increased risk of all-cause mortality (RR 2.11; 95% CI 1.72-2.58) and major cardiovascular events (RR 2.00; 95% CI 1.24-3.22) after adjustment for confounding. In addition, each unit reduction in GNRI significantly increased 6% risk of all-cause mortality.

conclusionLower GNRI independently predicts all-cause mortality and major cardiovascular events in elderly patients with heart failure. Determination of nutritional status using GNRI may improve risk stratification in elderly patients with heart failure.
