Impact of the Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index on In-hospital Thrombosis and Mortality in Patients Hospitalized with COVID-19.

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
Objective To determine whether nutritional status is related to the incidence of thrombosis and mortality in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Methods A total of 496 consecutive patients who were admitted and diagnosed with COVID-19 between April 2020 and March 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. The geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI) on admission was calculated as follows: 14.89×serum albumin (g/dL) +41.7×body mass index/22. Patients were divided into two groups according to the median GNRI values. The endpoint of this study was a composite of in-hospital thrombotic events and mortality. Results The median GNRI value was 99.3. Patients in the low GNRI (≤99.3) group were older (75±21 vs. 51±20 years, p<0.001) and more likely to be female (55.6% vs. 41.1%, p<0.05). In addition, patients with a low GNRI often exhibited hypertension (43.5% vs. 28.2%, p<0.001) and had a history of cardiovascular disease (34.3% vs. 14.5%, p<0.001). Under these conditions, the median D-dimer levels on admission were significantly higher in patients with a low GNRI (0.90 μg/mL; interquartile range (IQR), 0.49-1.64 μg/mL) than those with high GNRI (0.36 μg/mL; IQR, 0.26-0.51 μg/mL, p<0.001). During hospitalization, the composite endpoint was observed in 32 patients. In the logistic regression analysis, a low GNRI was significantly associated with the composite endpoint adjusted using inverse probability of treatment weighting (odds ratio, 3.24; 95% confidence interval: 1.51-6.93, p<0.05). Conclusion Assessment of the GNRI provides useful information for predicting in-hospital thrombosis and mortality in COVID-19 patients.
