Low Prognostic Nutritional Index (PNI) Level is Associated with an Increased Risk of Neonatal Respiratory Distress Syndrome in Preterm Infants with Different Gestational Ages: A Retrospective Study.
Article in International journal of general medicine, 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
Background: Neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (NRDS) is common in preterm infants. Prognostic nutritional index (PNI)((albumin (g/L)+(5×total lymphocyte count (10 Methods: A total of 2722 preterm infants were included in this retrospective study. PNI level and clinical records of these neonates (adverse pregnancy and birth history, amniotic fluid contamination, nuchal cord, placental abnormality, mode of delivery, gender and birth weight of neonates, Apgar scores) were collected. The clinical features of the infants with and without NRDS were compared. Logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate the relationship between PNI and NRDS in newborns with different gestational ages. Results: There were 1226 neonates with NRDS and 1496 without NRDS. The differences in the proportions of placenta abnormality, cesarean section, and small for gestational age (SGA) among infants with 34-37 weeks, 28 Conclusion: The risk factors for NRDS in preterm infants with different gestational ages were different. But the low PNI level is associated with an increased risk of NRDS in preterm infants with all different gestational ages.
