Controlling Nutritional Status (CONUT) Score as a Predictive Marker in Hospitalized Frail Elderly Patients.
Article in Journal of personalized medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07143084 (Investigation of the Relationship Between Nutritional Status Assessment and Frailty in Critical Care Patients), which is not on this map. Cited by 19 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

Abstract
The Controlling Nutritional Status (CONUT) score is a simple screening tool able to detect altered nutritional status as well as to predict clinical adverse outcomes in specific populations. No data are available in frail patients. This study aims to investigate the predictive role of the CONUT score on mortality and length of stay (LOS) in frail patients admitted to an Internal Medicine Department. We consecutively enrolled 246 patients aged 65 years or older, divided into two groups based on frailty status. The two groups were further divided according to low (<5) or high (≥5) CONUT score. Length of stay (LOS) was higher in frail patients than not-frail patients, as well as in the frail group with high CONUT scores compared to the frail group with low CONUT scores. Multiple linear regression showed an increase of 2.1 days for each additional point to the CONUT score. In-hospital mortality was higher in frail compared to not-frail patients, but it did not differ between frail patients with high CONUT scores and frail patients with low CONUT scores. An analysis of the survival curve for 30-day mortality showed a higher mortality rate for frail/high-CONUT-score patients as compared to the not-frail/low-CONUT-score group. The CONUT score shows high prognostic value for higher LOS-but not mortality-in the clinical setting of internal medicine departments for old frail patients.
