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

purposeTo evaluate the utility of the Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI) in predicting nonhome discharge (NHD) and delayed discharge after elective thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR).

methodsThe study population included patients undergoing elective simple TEVAR for intact thoracic aortic aneurysm or subacute or chronic aortic dissection between January 2009 and December 2022 and not experiencing neurological complications or re-interventions during hospitalization. The primary outcome measure was NHD and significantly delayed discharge. GNRI was calculated using the following equation: GNRI = 14.89 × serum albumin (g/dL) + 41.7 × (body mass index [kg/m

resultsA total of 229 patients were analyzed and the overall rate of the primary outcome was 5.7% (NHD, n = 6; delayed discharge, n = 10; both, n = 3). Patients with the primary outcome were more likely to have a lower GNRI (98 vs 103; P = .01) than those without. The logistic regression model showed that a high GNRI was protective against NHD (odds ratio, 0.38; 95% confidence interval, 0.18-0.76; P = .008). The AUC for GNRI was 0.710 (95% confidence interval, 0.602-0.821). The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value of GNRI < 92 were 23%, 89%, 11%, and 95%, respectively.

conclusionsPreoperative evaluation of GNRI may be useful in predicting NHD and delayed discharge.
