Comparative analysis of four nutritional scores in predicting delirium in ICU patients.
Article in Frontiers in nutrition, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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: The nutritional assessment indicators for critically ill patients are diverse, with limited research about comparing the predicting value of different nutritional assessment tools for delirium in the intensive care unit (ICU). Objectives: The study aimed to validate the relationship between malnutrition and ICU delirium and explore the optimal nutritional scores for predicting ICU delirium. Methods: This study was based on the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care IV (MIMIC-IV) database and included 319 ICU patients who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The study used four nutritional assessment tools: Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI), Prognostic Nutritional Index (PNI), Triglycerides (TG) × Total Cholesterol (TC) × Body Weight (BW) Index (TCBI), and Controlling Nutritional Status (CONUT) score. Restricted cubic spline (RCS) modeling, single-factor logistic regression, and multivariate stepwise logistic regression were employed to elucidate the relationships between each nutritional score and delirium. Using area under the curve (AUC) evaluated the discriminatory ability of the adjusted models. Results: The RCS shows a strong linear connection between delirium and PNI ( Conclusion: The study confirmed the association between poor nutritional status and increased risk of ICU delirium in patients. PNI demonstrated excellent independent predictive value for ICU delirium, warranting further clinical application and validation.
