Malnutrition risk, weight loss, and subsequent survival in patients listed for heart transplantation.
Article in JHLT open, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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: Higher malnutrition risk is associated with mortality among patients with heart failure and heart transplantation (HT). We investigated which malnutrition risk scores - geriatric nutrition risk index (GNRI), prognostic nutritional index (PNI), or controlling nutritional status (CONUT) - have the strongest mortality association for HT candidates, and whether they are prognostic at the time of HT listing or HT operation. Methods: We reviewed adults listed for primary HT at a single center 1987-March 2022, with survival follow-up to November 2022. We constructed Cox proportional hazards models and restricted cubic spline curves for each risk score at both HT listing and HT operation and inputted HT operation as a time-varying covariate for models commencing at listing. Risk scores were assessed as continuous and binary variables. Weight change between listing and HT was evaluated similarly. Results: The 1,024 patients [76% male; median age 55 (46-61) years; HT operation Conclusion: Malnutrition risk scores showed prognostic utility only at time of HT listing. As a continuous variable, GNRI at HT listing was independently associated with subsequent mortality.
