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

Background: As defined by the Controlling Nutrition Status (CONUT) score, the prognostic significance of nutritional status has attracted attention in patients with cardiovascular disease. This meta-analysis aimed to determine the importance of CONUT score for prediction of all-cause mortality and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in adult patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). Methods: Observational studies conducted to evaluate the association of CONUT score with adverse clinical outcomes in patients with CAD were included. We searched MEDLINE, Embase, Scopus, Cochrane library, Google scholar, medRxiv pre-print as well as Science Direct search engine for studies published from the inception of each database until March 21, 2022. Studies reporting the utility of CONUT score in prediction of all-cause mortality and MACE among patients with CAD were eligible. Predictive potential of the CONUT score were summarized by pooling the multivariable adjusted hazard ratio (aHR) with 95% CI for the malnourished vs. normal nutritional status or per point CONUT score increase. Results: Of 2,547 screened citation, nine observational studies involving 81,257 patients with CAD were analyzed. Malnutrition defined by the CONUT score was associated with significantly increased risk of all-cause mortality when compared with the normal nutritional state (aHR for mild, moderate, and severe malnutrition, respectively: (1.21 [95% CI: 1.15-1.27], Conclusion: As defined by the CONUT score, malnutrition is an independent predictor of all-cause mortality and MACE in CAD patients. Nutritional assessment with CONUT score could allow clinicians to identify patients with CAD at high risk for adverse clinical outcomes.
