1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundHeart failure (HF) remains a significant health problem despite advances in diagnosis and treatment options. Malnutrition and increased inflammation predict poor disease prognosis. The parameters of the Naples prognostic score (NPS) include albumin, total cholesterol, neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), and lymphocyte-monocyte ratio (LMR). We aimed to assess the potential of NPS as a predictor of long-term mortality in patients with HF.

methodsA total of 1728 patients with HF who applied to our center between 2018 and 2022 were included in this study. The NPS was computed and the patients were divided into three groups according to their NPS values as follows: NPS = 0 (Group 1), NPS = 1-2 (Group 2), and NPS = 3-4 (Group 3). We also evaluated the association between NPS value and HF mortality.

resultsThe patients were followed for a mean follow-up duration of 30 months. The mortality rate was 8.3% (145 patients). We carried out Model-1 and -2 Cox regression analyses to identify long-term mortality determinants. Model-2 was constructed by adding NPS to Model-1. NPS was significantly associated with HF mortality (Hazard Ratio: 2.194, 95% Confidence Interval: 1.176-4.091,

conclusionBased on our findings, NPS showed promise as an independent predictor of long-term mortality in individuals with HF.
