Evaluation of malnutrition by objective nutritional indexes and predictors in hospitalized patients with COVID-19.
Article in Journal of clinical biochemistry and nutrition, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
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
Nutritional information on hospitalized patients with COVID-19 is limited. We aimed to (1) investigate the prevalence of nutrition risk defined by the Scored Nutritional Risk Screening (NRS 2002) and malnutrition assessed by prognostic nutritional index (PNI) and controlling nutritional status score (CONUT), (2) observe the nutritional intervention, and (3) explore the predictors of critical condition and mortality. Nutritional risk was 53.00% and the prevalence of malnutrition was 79.09% and 88.79% among 464 patients based on PNI and CONUT, respectively. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve for hypersensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), PNI, neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR), systemic immune-inflammation index (SII), and CONUT were 0.714, 0.677, 0.243, 0.778, 0.742, and 0.743, respectively, in discerning critical patients. The mortality-related area under the curve of hs-CRP, PLR, PNI, NLR, SII, and CONUT were 0.740, 0.647, 0.247, 0.814, 0.758, and 0.767, respectively. The results showed that CONUT and NLR were significantly correlated with the critical conditions. Our study revealed a high prevalence of nutritional risk and malnutrition among hospitalized patients with COVID-19. NLR, PLR, hs-CRP, SII, and CONUT are independent predictors of critical conditions and mortality. CONUT and NLR could assist clinicians in discerning critical cases.
