Low geriatric nutritional risk index is associated with osteoporosis and fracture risk in patients with chronic liver disease: a cross-sectional study.
Article in BMC gastroenterology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
backgroundPatients with chronic liver disease (CLD) frequently suffer from malnutrition and bone diseases, both of which heighten the risk of poor clinical outcomes. This study investigated the relationship between geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI) and osteoporosis or fracture risk using the fracture risk assessment tool (FRAX) in patients with CLD.
methodsThis cross-sectional study included 209 consecutive patients with CLD. The participants were divided into two groups: the all-risk group (GNRI ≤ 98.0) with nutrition-related risk and the no-risk group (GNRI > 98.0) without nutrition-related risk. Osteoporosis was diagnosed according to the World Health Organization criteria. The FRAX was used to estimate the 10-year probabilities of hip fracture (FRAX-HF) and major osteoporotic fracture (FRAX-MOF).
resultsOf the 209 patients, 72 (34.4%) had osteoporosis. The all-risk group had a significantly higher prevalence of osteoporosis than the no-risk group (p < 0.001). Conversely, patients with osteoporosis had significantly lower GNRI than those without osteoporosis (p < 0.001). Multivariate analysis found lower GNRI to be a significant and independent risk factor for osteoporosis (odds ratio [OR], 0.927; p < 0.001) and high fracture risk derived from FRAX (without BMD) (OR, 0.904; p = 0.009). GNRI had a positive correlation with bone mineral density (BMD) at the lumbar spine, femoral neck, and total hip, but a negative correlation with FRAX-HF and FRAX-MOF in the FRAX with and without BMD (p < 0.001 for all). The cutoff value of GNRI for predicting osteoporosis was 104.9, with sensitivity of 0.667 and specificity of 0.657.
conclusionsThe GNRI was significantly associated with osteoporosis and FRAX-derived fracture risk in patients with CLD, suggesting that it could be a simple and useful indicator for the management of bone diseases.
