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

This study aimed to explore the efficacy of Prognostic Nutritional Index (PNI), Controlling Nutritional Status (CONUT), and Nutritional Risk Index (NRI) in predicting postthrombotic syndrome (PTS) in patients with lower extremity deep vein thrombosis (DVT) based on peripheral blood samples. We reviewed and analyzed patients with lower extremity DVT in our hospital from June 2020 to December 2023. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve identified the best nutritional scoring system for a logistic regression model. Restricted cubic spline (RCS) analysis examined the nonlinear link between the CONUT score and PTS risk, using knots at the 10th, 50th, and 90th percentiles of the CONUT score.The study investigated 246 cases of lower extremity DVT, PTS occurred in 59 patients (23.2%). Multifactorial analysis indicated that body mass index (BMI), prior varicose veins, recurrent venous thromboembolism (VTE), and CONUT score were independent risk factors for patients with DVT developing PTS (P < 0.05). In the multivariate analysis model, a CONUT score of > 4.5 was independently associated with PTS (P < 0.001). RCS analysis demonstrated a significant nonlinear relationship (P for nonlinearity = 0.028), with the risk of PTS increasing with CONUT scores up to an inflection point of 7, after which the risk plateaued. Our study suggest that an independent correlation was found between CONUT score and PTS in patients with lower extremity DVT.
