Prognostic value of the NUTRIC score for 28-day mortality in patients with sepsis-associated acute respiratory distress syndrome and its comparison with other nutritional indices: a retrospective cohort 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
Background: Nutritional and metabolic derangements are common in patients with sepsis-associated acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and may contribute to adverse outcomes. This study evaluated the prognostic value of the Nutrition Risk in Critically Ill (NUTRIC) score for 28-day mortality in this population. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on clinical data from 152 sepsis patients with ARDS admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) at Yiwu Central Hospital between December 2023 and January 2025. Associations between NUTRIC score and 28-day mortality were examined using multivariable logistic and Cox regression. Restricted cubic spline (RCS) analysis assessed dose-response relationship. Discrimination, calibration, and clinical utility were evaluated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves, calibration analysis, Brier score, and decision curve analysis (DCA). Internal validation used 1,000 bootstrap resamples. Subgroup, interaction, and Kaplan-Meier analyses were performed. Results: The 28-day mortality rate was 34.2% (52/152). After multivariable adjustment, each 1-point increase in NUTRIC score was associated with higher odds of mortality (odds ratio, 1.65; 95% CI, 1.34-2.02; Conclusion: In patients with sepsis-associated ARDS, higher NUTRIC scores were independently associated with increased 28-day mortality. The NUTRIC score may serve as a practical tool for early risk stratification and integrated assessment of nutritional and disease burden in critically ill patients with sepsis-associated ARDS.
