1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Malnutrition plays a crucial role in pulmonary hypertension (PH). The prognostic nutritional index (PNI) is a reliable indicator for nutritional status assessment. However, its relationship with mortality risk in PH patients has not yet been investigated. This study analyzed data from the Patient Registry for Primary PH. PNI was calculated through albumin and lymphocyte counts. Subjects with missing data for PNI calculation were excluded. The primary endpoint was all-cause mortality. Cox proportional hazard model was used to calculate the hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Of the 317 patients records available in the registry, we finally included 136 patients. The average age of the included subjects was 40.56 (14.91) years and 63.24% (86/136) were female. In our analysis of Cox regression, per 1-point increment of PNI was associated with 4% decreased risk of mortality in PH patients (age- and sex-adjusted HR: 0.96, 95% CI: 0.93-0.98,
