The Impact of Prognostic Nutritional Index on Coronary Flow Reserve in Patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease.

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
objectiveThe recurring inflammation of mucosal layer of intestines is known as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which can be accompanied by nutritional deficiencies. The association between inflammation and coronary artery disease has been established. Coronary flow reserve (CFR), which is an established method to evaluate combined microvascular and epicardial flow of coronary arteries, can be assessed by using transthoracic echocardiography. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association of Prognostic Nutritional Index (PNI) with CFR in IBD patients.
methodThis prospective study included 101 patients with IBD. These patients were compared to control group (n=32). PNI was calculated by using serum albumin level and lymphocyte count. CFR was assessed by using Doppler echocardiography.
resultsMultivariate regression analysis indicated that the presence of IBD, age (>40 years) and decreased PNI (<53.8) independently predict impairment of CFR. The area under the curve (AUC) was 75.1% (95% CI:0.664-0.838), and PNI levels were significant predictor of low CFR (p<0.001).
conclusionThis study showed that PNI, which is calculated using the serum level of albumin and lymphocyte count, is a strong predictor of decreased CFR in IBD patients in remission. Our findings support previous studies showing the relationship between PNI and coronary artery disease. This immunonutritional index has only two components and is easy to calculate, and inexpensive.
