The effect of prognostic nutritional index on diabetic patients with myocardial infarction.

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
backgroundThe prognostic nutritional index (PNI), a simple and comprehensive predictor of nutritional and immunological health, is connected to cancer and cardiovascular disease. The effects of PNI on myocardial infarction (MI) in individuals with diabetes remain unclear. Thus, we aim to investigate the correlation of PNI with predictive outcomes in this specific population group to inform therapeutic decision-making.
methodsThis prospective observational study included 417 diabetic patients with MI who underwent coronary angiography intervention at Fujian Medical University Union Hospital from May 2017 to May 2020. We collected follow-up and prognostic data from these patients at 6, 12, 18, and 24 months post-procedure via outpatient visits or phone interviews. The main focus of the study was on major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in the two years after surgery. Based on the median PNI, patients were categorized into two groups: high PNI (H-PNI) and low PNI (L-PNI). Data were analyzed using IBM SPSS 25.0. Kalpan-Meier survival curves and Cox proportional hazards regression analysis were utilized to examine the associations between preoperative PNI and the prognosis of diabetic patients with MI.
resultsIn the study, 417 participants were observed for two years. Of these patients, 159 (38.1%) had MACE. According to the Kaplan-Meier curves, patients in the L-PNI group had more MACE than those in the H-PNI group (log-rank p < 0.001) and had a heightened susceptibility to all categories of MACE. After adjusting for confounding variables, the corrected hazard ratio for developing unstable angina in the L-PNI group was 2.55 (95% CI 1.57-4.14, p < 0.001).
conclusionLow PNI levels are associated with MACE after coronary angiography intervention in diabetic patients with myocardial infarction. This highlights the prognostic value of PNI and broadens its potential use in larger populations.
