Effect of the modified NUTRIC score in predicting the prognosis of patients admitted to intensive care units.
Observational study in BMC anesthesiology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
backgroundNutritional deficiency is common in critically ill hospitalized patients. This condition may be aggravated by increased dietary requirements and deficiencies in nutrient absorption. This study aimed to evaluate the associations between the modified Nutritional Risk in Critically ill (mNUTRIC) score and mortality and morbidity in patients with sepsis.
methodsIn this prospective observational study, 78 patients with sepsis were enrolled in the general intensive care unit over a 3-month period. Demographic and clinical data and laboratory results were recorded and followed up. The nutrition of each patient was started by the nutrition team, and a modified score (mNUTRIC) was calculated. This score was used to assess the patients' nutritional status and mortality risk.
resultsThe mean age of the patients was 77.2 ± 9.9 years, and the majority were men. The median mNUTRIC score was 6. The cohort was divided into two groups: 31 patients (39.7%) with low scores and 47 patients (60.3%) with high mNUTRIC scores. A high mNUTRIC score was associated with an increased need for vasoactive drugs (p < 0.001) and mechanical ventilation (p < 0.001), as well as increased acute kidney injury (p = 0.014) and prolonged hospital stay (p < 0.001) during ICU follow-up. The mNUTRIC score showed high accuracy in predicting mortality (p < 0.001).
conclusionsIn this study, to predict the prognosis of patients with sepsis in the ICU, the mNUTRIC score was associated with mortality. The inclusion of nutritional assessment scoring tools in the routine clinical evaluation of ICU patients is important.
