Association between geriatric nutritional risk index and risk of heart failure: a cross-sectional 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
backgroundThis study investigates the correlation between GNRI and the occurrence of heart failure (HF) using data from the NHANES database.
methodsData were derived from the NHANES study, a large-scale, nationwide epidemiological survey. The final sample consisted of 16,021 participants aged 60 and older after excluding those with missing GNRI data and those without HF. GNRI was calculated using serum albumin levels and body weight, and participants were categorized into quartiles based on their GNRI scores. Logistic regression analyses were conducted to assess the association between GNRI and HF risk, adjusting for demographic and clinical covariates. Restricted cubic splines were used to visualize the relationship between GNRI and HF.
resultsThe analysis revealed that higher GNRI scores were associated with a lower risk of heart failure. Logistic regression showed that, after adjusting for confounders, higher GNRI quartiles had progressively lower odds of HF compared to the lowest quartile. The restricted cubic spline analysis confirmed a linear inverse relationship between GNRI and HF risk, indicating that better nutritional status, as indicated by higher GNRI, is linked to a reduced likelihood of heart failure.
conclusionLower GNRI scores are associated with a higher prevalence of heart failure, highlighting the potential role of nutritional risk assessment in elderly populations. Further longitudinal studies are necessary to establish causality and explore the impact of nutritional improvements on heart failure outcomes.
