The Naples prognostic score as a new predictive index of severe abdominal aortic calcification: a population-based study.

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: Abdominal aortic calcification (AAC) is related to inflammation and nutritional status. The Naples prognostic score (NPS) is an innovative biological marker capable of reflecting systemic inflammation and nutritional status. This research seeks to investigate the correlation of NPS with severe abdominal aortic calcification (SAAC). Methods: The research evaluated data obtained from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) conducted between 2013 and 2014. The variables were filtered utilizing the Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (LASSO) regression. Weighted logistic regression models were employed to examine the association of NPS with SAAC. The predictive value of NPS for the risk of SAAC was assessed utilizing the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. A subgroup analysis was conducted to assess the strength and reliability of the research findings. Results: The research encompassed 2,854 participants, among whom 303 (11.87%) exhibited SAAC. The outcomes of multivariate weighted logistic regression revealed that participants with a NPS of 3-4 points was positively correlated with SAAC in comparison to the control group [odds ratio (OR) = 2.07, 95% confidence interval (95%CI): 1.17-3.67]. The area under the curve (AUC) for predicting the risk of SAAC using NPS was 0.635. The subgroup analysis results indicated that there was no significant difference noted in the association of NPS with SAAC across various population subgroups. Conclusion: A positive association of NPS with SAAC has been observed in this research. This study offers valuable insights into the prevention and diagnosis of SAAC. Future longitudinal studies are warranted to confirm causative relationships and assess the role of NPS in clinical decision-making for SAAC.
