Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index is a risk factor for long-term decreases in patient-reported outcome measures following total knee arthroplasty.

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
Purpose: Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is an effective treatment for alleviating pain and improving function in patients with end-stage knee osteoarthritis. However, factors influencing long-term patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) remain underexplored. This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between preoperative nutritional status, specifically the Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI), and the long-term decline in PROMs following TKA. Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study including patients who underwent TKA between 2000 and 2009. PROMs were assessed using the Knee Society Score (KSS) at two time points: an initial evaluation in 2012 (median postoperative 4 years) and a follow-up in 2023 (median 13 years). Preoperative GNRI, body mass index (BMI), and other demographic and clinical data were collected from medical records. Statistical analysis included paired Results: A total of 75 patients completed follow-up assessments. Over the 11-year follow-up period, there was a significant decrease in the KSS functional activity scores ( Conclusion: Preoperative malnutrition, as indicated by a low GNRI, is a significant risk factor for long-term decline in functional outcomes following TKA. These findings highlight the importance of preoperative nutritional interventions and rehabilitation for improving the long-term outcomes of patients undergoing TKA. Level of Evidence: Level III, retrospective cohort study.
