Geriatric nutritional risk index as an independent predictor of 1-year mortality in elderly patients with hip fractures.
Article in PloS one, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundHip fractures are a major cause of morbidity and mortality in the elderly, with 1-year mortality rates up to 40%. Malnutrition is a key determinant of adverse outcomes. The Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI), based on serum albumin and body weight, is a simple nutritional tool. This study investigated whether GNRI independently predicts 1-year mortality after hip fracture surgery beyond conventional risk factors.
methodsWe retrospectively analyzed 624 patients aged ≥65 years who underwent hip fracture surgery at two tertiary centers. Demographic, clinical, and perioperative data were collected. GNRI was calculated for all patients. Independent predictors of mortality were identified using logistic regression, and ROC analysis determined the optimal GNRI cut-off.
resultsThe 1-year mortality rate was 22.3%. In univariate analysis, older age, ASA class III-IV, low albumin, low GNRI, and multiple comorbidities were significantly associated with mortality. Each 0.1 g/dL increase in albumin was associated with 26% lower odds of 1-year mortality, and each 1-point increase in GNRI was associated with 25.5% lower odds of mortality (p < 0.001). In multivariate analysis, only age, ASA classification, and GNRI remained independent predictors. ROC analysis showed excellent discrimination for GNRI (AUC: 0.928), with a cut-off of 91.45 (sensitivity 87.8%, specificity 90.3%). Patients with GNRI ≤91.45 had a markedly higher 1-year mortality (72.2% vs. 3.7%; RR: 19.32, 95% CI: 12.01-31.09).
conclusionsGNRI independently predicted 1-year mortality in elderly hip fracture patients. A GNRI ≤91.45 was associated with a 19-fold higher risk, while higher scores had a protective effect, underscoring GNRI as a practical tool for perioperative risk stratification.
