The Significance of an Initial Controlling Nutritional Status Score in Predicting the Functional Outcome, Complications, and Mortality in a First-Ever Ischemic Stroke.
Article in Nutrients, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
background and purposeNutritional status can influence the outcomes and mortality of various diseases. The association between initial nutritional status and ischemic stroke outcomes, however, remains poorly understood. This study investigated whether the Controlling Nutritional Status (CONUT) score at admission could predict functional recovery, complications, and survival following an ischemic stroke.
methodsWe enrolled a total of 938 patients experiencing their first acute ischemic stroke and categorized them into three groups based on their CONUT score at admission: CONUT 0-1, CONUT 2-4, and CONUT 5-12. The CONUT score was assessed using the serum albumin, total cholesterol, and lymphocyte count. We evaluated the incidence of complications during their hospital stay. Outcomes, including the Modified Rankin Scale (mRS), Functional Independence Measurement (FIM), Functional Ambulatory Classification (FAC), and mortality, were assessed at baseline, as well as at three and six months post-stroke.
resultsCONUT scores were significantly associated with functional outcomes (mRS, FIM, and FAC) and mortality during the six-month follow-up period post-stroke (all
conclusionsCONUT scores at admission are associated with functional recovery, mortality, and the incidence of complications following a first-ever ischemic stroke. Consequently, the early identification of patients at risk of malnutrition via CONUT scores can be crucial in enhancing patient assessment after an acute stroke.
