The prognostic value of the nutritional prognostic index (NPI) and controlling nutritional status (CONUT) scoring systems in non-ST elevated myocardial infarction patients over 65 years of age.
Article in Aging clinical and experimental research, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundNutritional status and metabolic responses to inflammation changes with age and comorbid conditions.
aimsWe aimed to compare the predictive values of the nutritional prognostic index (NPI) and controlling nutritional status (CONUT) Score systems with the GRACE score in elderly (non-ST elevated myocardial infarction) NSTEMI patients.
methodsNSTEMI patients over 65 years of age have been included in this study. The factors affecting mortality were determined by regression analysis. ROC curve analysis were performed and predictiveness of the scores was tested.
resultsMean age of patients was 74.49 ± 7.60 years, median GRACE and NPI scores were 118 (107-131.50 IQR) and 50.10 (45.30-54.27 IQR), respectively, and CONUT scores ≥ 3 were 24.4% of all patients. 32 (15.6%) patients died within 6 months. White blood cells and albumin levels maintain their significance in the multivariate regression analysis (OR: 1.386; 0.025, p < 0.001, respectively). ROC curve analysis of NPI, CONUT, Killip, and GRACE scores were performed (AUC: 0.757; 0.744; 0.725; 0.800, p < 0.001, respectively). DISCUSSIONS: The frequency of NSTEMI increases with the effect of increasing age and comorbid conditions. The NPI and CONUT scoring systems have been tested in many previous studies to predict the prognosis of both malignancy and cardiovascular diseases. What makes this scoring system valuable for our study is the thought that our study group will be more prone to malnutrition because they are old and present with an acute presentation.
conclusionsNPI and CONUT scoring systems have been successful at rates approaching the GRACE score system, which is used primarily to predict the prognosis of NSTEMI.
