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: The prognosis for patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) using their nutritional status has not been established. We investigated the relationship between the prognosis of patients with CTEPH and the Controlling Nutritional Status (CONUT) score, which is a nutritional assessment tool. Methods and Results: A total of 157 patients with CTEPH was enrolled in the study. The primary outcome was defined as the composite outcome of all-cause mortality and non-elective hospitalization due to heart failure. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was used to determine the cutoff CONUT score for predicting the 1-year rate of the primary outcome. Patients were divided into 2 groups according to the significant cutoff value and compared. Undernutrition was observed in 51.6% of patients. ROC analysis revealed a significant cutoff CONUT score of 3.5 (area under the curve=0.789). The incidence rate of the primary composite outcome was higher in the high CONUT group (score ≥4) than in the low CONUT group (score ≤3; 20% vs. 2.2%; P<0.001). Cox analysis revealed the CONUT score per point increase was an independent risk factor for the primary composite outcomes (hazard ratio 2.301; 95% confidence interval 1.081-4.895; P=0.031). Conclusions: The CONUT score can predict the 1-year rate of all-cause death and non-elective hospitalization in patients with CTEPH.
