The comparison of GNRI and other nutritional indexes on short-term survival in geriatric patients treated for respiratory failure.
Article in Aging clinical and experimental research, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 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
backgroundThere are several screening tools used in the detection of malnutrition to facilitate nutritional support and predict prognosis in the elderly.
aimsWe aimed to compare the prognostic predictive value of geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI) with other nutritional indices on 1 month survival in geriatric patients hospitalized for respiratory failure in intensive care unit (ICU).
methodsA total of 191 geriatric patients (> 65 years) admitted to a specialized chest hospital with respiratory failure between January 2018 and January 2019 were analyzed. Patients were classified into two category according to 30-day survival: Survivors and Non-survivors. Nutritional assesment was done via GNRI, OPNI, NRS 2002, Nutric Scores in ICU.
resultsUsing GNRI, 146 (76.3%) geriatric patients found to be at risk of malnutrition (GNRI score: ≤ 92). GNRI < 86.9 showed significantly higher 30-day mortality rate and patients with malnutrition risk were older, had significantly lower BMI, OPNI, and higher SOFA score. The Age, NRS 2002, Nutric and SOFA score had negative correlation with GNRI. Nutric score, prealbumin and GNRI were detected as significant independent risk factors of 30-day mortality. GNRI had higher sensitivity (76.7%) but lower specificity (57.1%) compared to Nutric score and OPNI for the prediction of 30-day hospital mortality.
conclusionsCompared to others, Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI) seems to be a good predictor of 30-day mortality and having a score of less than 86.9 increase the malnutrition risk in geriatric patients hospitalized for respiratory failure in ICU.
