Association between the systemic inflammatory response index and mortality in patients with sarcopenia.
Article in PloS one, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundSarcopenia is closely linked to inflammation; however, the association between the systemic inflammatory response index (SIRI) and mortality in patients with sarcopenia remains unclear. This study aims to explore the relationship between SIRI and mortality in sarcopenia patients.
methodsWe analyzed data from ten cycles of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) spanning 1999 to 2018, selecting 3,141 sarcopenia patients. Mortality data were obtained from the National Death Index up to December 31, 2019. Participants were divided into three groups based on the ranking of their SIRI values. The association between SIRI and mortality was assessed using Cox proportional hazards models, with smooth curve fitting employed to test the correlation. Sensitivity analyses, subgroup analyses, and interaction tests were conducted to validate the stability of the findings.
resultsA total of 101,316 individuals were included in this study. During a median follow-up of 10.4 years (minimum follow-up time of approximately 0.08 years, maximum follow-up time of 20.75 years), 667 participants died. Kaplan-Meier (KM) analysis indicated a higher risk of mortality in the SIRI Q3 group. Cox regression analysis showed a significant association between the SIRI Q3 group and all-cause mortality [HR 1.24 (95% CI: 1.05, 1.47)] and cardiovascular disease mortality [HR 1.46 (95% CI: 1.04, 2.04)]. Subgroup analysis revealed that SIRI was significantly associated with all-cause mortality across various demographic characteristics (e.g., gender, diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular disease). Sensitivity analysis, excluding participants with cardiovascular disease, those who died within two years of follow-up, and those under 50 years old, indicated higher hazard ratios (HRs) for all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in the SIRI Q3 group.
conclusionThis study demonstrates a significant association between SIRI and an increased risk of mortality in sarcopenia patients aged 20 years and older.
