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

Objectives: Malnutrition is associated with an increased risk of hospital readmission for heart failure in patients with acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF). Therefore, evaluation of the nutritional status in patients with ADHF may be important. The geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI), the controlling nutritional status (CONUT) score, and the prognostic nutritional index (PNI) are widely used objective indexes for evaluation of the nutritional status. The present study was performed to determine the best nutritional index for predicting the prognosis in older adults with ADHF. Methods: We retrospectively studied 167 older adults (>65 years of age) who were admitted with ADHF from January 2012 to December 2015 and discharged alive. The objective nutritional status was evaluated using the GNRI, CONUT score, and PNI at admission. The endpoint of this study was unplanned hospitalization for worsening heart failure (WHF) within 1 year after discharge. Results: During the follow-up period, 58 patients were readmitted for WHF. In the multivariate Cox analysis, only the GNRI ( Conclusion: Among the objective nutritional indexes, the GNRI is the best predictor of readmission for WHF within 1 year after discharge in older adults with ADHF.
