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

Background: Malnutrition is increasingly recognized as a modifiable prognostic factor in myocardial infarction (MI), yet traditional nutritional assessment methods often fail to adequately capture lipid-related atherogenic risk. We introduced an innovative modified Controlling Nutritional Status (mCONUT) score, which replaces total cholesterol with non-HDL cholesterol, aiming to improve the stratification of atherosclerotic risk and to assess its prognostic utility in predicting MI outcomes. Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, we analyzed a total of 3,730 patients diagnosed with MI, extracted from the MIMIC-IV database, and stratified them into Normal, Mild, and Worse groups based on the mCONUT score. After performing 1:1:1 propensity score matching, we selected 993 patients for comparative analysis. Multivariable Cox proportional hazards models, adjusted for clinical and demographic confounders, were employed to evaluate all-cause mortality at 180 days and 1 year. Results: Among 993 MI patients, the median age was 75 years (IQR 68-82) with 58.4% males ( Conclusions: The mCONUT score has emerged as a robust multidimensional biomarker for predicting MI prognosis, with worse malnutrition (mCONUT ≥ 6) being significantly associated with a 46%-61% elevation in mortality risk, demonstrating a clear linear dose-response relationship. Routine screening and tailored nutritional interventions should be prioritized in modern MI management practices.
