Association of prognostic nutritional index with the presence and all-cause mortality of rheumatoid arthritis: the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2003-2018.
Article in BMC public health, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
backgroundThe prognostic nutritional index (PNI) is a comprehensive measure of individual immune and nutritional status. This study aimed to evaluate the role of PNI in the presence and mortality of rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
methodsThis study used data of participants aged ≥ 40 years from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2003-2018. PNI was calculated using serum albumin and lymphocyte count. The relationship between PNI and the prevalence of RA and mortality among RA patients was assessed using logistic and Cox regression models. Nonlinear associations were explored using restricted cubic splines (RCS).
resultsOf 18,245 participants (mean 55.4 years, 49% female), 1901 had RA, among whom (480/1899, 25%) died during a median follow-up period of 84 months. PNI was inversely associated with the likelihood of having RA (odds ratio = 0.97, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.95-0.98). Compared to participants whose PNI was in the lowest quartile, those in other quartiles had a reduced likelihood of having RA by 21-38% (P
conclusionIn middle-aged and older adults, there is an inverse association between PNI and the presence and all-cause mortality of RA.
