Prognostic nutritional index predicts clinical outcomes in patients with cerebral venous sinus thrombosis.

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
backgroundLower prognostic nutritional index (PNI) is related to the poor prognosis of cardiovascular diseases. However, little is known about PNI and its relationship with the prognosis of cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST).
methodsCVST patients were retrospectively identified from January 2013 till June 2019. Patients in the acute / subacute phase were selected as subjects. Poor prognosis was defined as a modified Rankin Scale (mRS) of 3-6. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to confirm if lower PNI was associated with a poor prognosis.
resultsA total of 297 subjects with follow-up data were enrolled. Thirty-three (11.1%) had a poor outcome. Multivariate logistic regression analysis suggested that PNI was an important predictive factor of poor outcome in acute/subacute CVST (odds ratio, 0.903; 95% CI, 0.833-0.978; P = 0.012). The optimal cut-off value for predicting the poor prognosis of PNI was 44.2. Kaplan-Meier analysis and log-rank test suggested that the lower the PNI value, the higher the mortality rate (P < 0.001). In addition, the nomogram that was set up showed that lower PNI was an index of poor prognosis. The c-index for acute/subacute patients with CVST was 0.872.
conclusionLower PNI is correlated with a higher risk of adverse clinical outcomes in patients with acute/subacute CVST.
