Combined Evaluation of Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index and Modified Creatinine Index for Predicting Mortality in Patients on Hemodialysis.
Article in Nutrients, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
The geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI) and modified creatinine index (mCI) are surrogate markers of protein-energy wasting in patients receiving hemodialysis. We aimed to examine whether a combined evaluation of these indices improved mortality prediction in this population. We retrospectively investigated 263 hemodialysis patients divided into two groups, using 91.2 and 20.16 mg/kg/day as cut-off values of GNRI and mCI, respectively. The resultant four groups were reshuffled into four subgroups defined using combinations of cut-off values of both indices and were followed up. During the follow-up period (median: 3.1 years), 103 patients died (46/103, cardiovascular causes). Lower GNRI and lower mCI were independently associated with all-cause mortality (adjusted hazard ratio (aHR) 4.96, 95% confidence intervals (CI) 3.10-7.94, and aHR 1.92, 95% CI 1.22-3.02, respectively). The aHR value for the lower GNRI and lower mCI group vs. the higher GNRI and higher mCI group was 7.95 (95% CI 4.38-14.43). Further, the addition of GNRI and mCI to the baseline risk assessment model significantly improved the C-index of all-cause mortality (0.801 to 0.835,
