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

backgroundThe objective of this study was to assess nutritional risk in ICU patients using the modified Nutritional Risk in Critically ill (mNUTRIC) score and to evaluate its association with in-hospital mortality.

methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted in a tertiary care hospital, including 584 ICU admitted patients. The mNUTRIC score was calculated, and the association between mNUTRIC-defined nutritional risk and mortality was evaluated using logistic regressions.

resultsOf the total 584 patients, the mean 57.6 ± 15.3 years and 67.5% (

conclusionThe mNUTRIC score is a useful nutritional risk screening tool and demonstrates a strong prognostic association with mortality in critically ill ICU patients, supporting its applicability in a tertiary care hospital context in Pakistan.
