The Prognostic Value of Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index in Evaluating Rehospitalization and One-Year Mortality in Patients With Heart Failure.

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
backgroundMalnutrition is frequently observed in patients with heart failure, and malnutrition causes poor prognosis in these patients. Various calculation tools are used to assess malnutrition, with the geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI) being one that is frequently used. In our study, we aimed to investigate the value of GNRI in assessing one-year mortality and rehospitalization in patients with heart failure.
methodA total of 196 patients aged 60 years and older were included in this retrospective study. A GNRI ≤ 98 was defined as malnutrition. Patients were divided into two groups: GNRI ≤ 98 (malnutrition) and GNRI > 98 (non-malnutrition). Rehospitalization due to heart failure and mortality were compared between both groups in the one-year follow-up.
resultsThe duration of hospitalization was significantly lower in the malnourished group compared to the non-malnutrition group (11.5 ± 7.5 days vs. 20.9 ± 16.3 days). All-cause mortality was significantly higher in the malnutrition group (30.8% vs. 18.1, p = 0.045). Risk factors were evaluated to predict all-cause death by Cox regression analysis, and GNRI (hazard ratio (HR) = 0.968; 95%CI: 0.942-0.995; p = 0.018) was associated with all-cause mortality.
conclusionsGNRI, which is used as an indicator of malnutrition, is associated with all-cause mortality at one-year follow-up. Higher mortality was observed in the group with low GNRI, but it was observed that this group was hospitalized for less time due to heart failure.
