A Clinical Epidemiological Analysis of Prognostic Nutritional Index Associated with Diabetic Retinopathy.

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
purposePrognostic nutritional index (PNI) is an effective tool to evaluate the nutritional conditions and predict prognosis, but clinical data are limited for the use of PNI in diabetic retinopathy (DR). This study aimed to investigate the relationship of PNI with the prevalence and severity of DR in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). PATIENTS AND
methodsThis cross-sectional analysis enrolled 1023 individuals with T2DM hospitalized between 2017-2020. PNI was calculated as 10 × serum albumin (g/l) + 0.005 × total lymphocyte count (cells/mL). DR severity was categorized as no, nonproliferative, and vision-threatened DR (VTDR) according to the modified Airlie House classification. Multivariate-adjusted odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence interval (CI) for the prevalent DR in the top (Q4) compared with the bottom quartile (Q1) of PNI levels were estimated by using logistic regression analyses.
resultsPNI levels were significantly lower in individuals with VTDR than those with no and nonproliferative DR (both
conclusionPNI was inversely and independently associated with the severity and prevalence of DR, which suggested that PNI could likely be used to predict DR prognosis in clinical practice.
