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

Background: The Naples Prognostic Score (NPS) is a composite inflammatory-nutritional index that integrates serum albumin, total cholesterol, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, and lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio to predict outcomes in acute myocardial infarction (MI); however, its independent prognostic value remains incompletely defined. Objective: To assess the correlation between the NPS and outcomes in patients with acute MI. Methods: We searched PubMed, Scopus, Cochrane, Embase, and Wiley Online Library for studies evaluating the NPS in patients with acute MI. Pooled odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated using random-effects models, and heterogeneity was assessed using the I Results: Nine observational cohort studies comprising 15,998 patients with MI were analyzed. Higher NPS was associated with increased odds of all-cause mortality (OR 3.31; 95% CI: 1.62-6.77, Conclusion: Higher NPS was correlated with higher risk of all-cause mortality, no-reflow phenomenon, and new-onset atrial fibrillation in patients with acute MI. All estimates are based on observational data that have not been adjusted for any factors; there were three to four cohorts per outcome, and eight of nine studies were from one country. The findings are exploratory and do not warrant the use of NPS as a clinical risk stratification tool; future, adjusted, multinational validation is needed.
