Impact of preoperative immunonutrition on morbidity following cystectomy for bladder cancer: a case-control pilot study.
Article in World journal of urology, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map.

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.

Abstract
purposeTo compare postoperative complications in patients with or without preoperative immunonutrition before cystectomy.
methodsA prospective, multicenter, pilot, case-control study was conducted during 6 months. Patients with 7-day preoperative immunonutrition were prospectively included and compared with a retrospective, matched control group without immunonutrition. Early complication rates and the length of hospital stay were analyzed. The bilateral type I error was <0.05; the power was 90%. Thirty patients in each group were required.
resultsThirty patients were included in each group, on a comparable basis. In the immunonutrition group, fewer postoperative complications (40 vs. 76.7%; p = 0.008), less paralytic ileus at D7 (6.6 vs. 33.3%; p = 0.02), fewer infections (23.3 vs. 60%; p = 0.008), and in particular less pyelonephritis (16.7 vs. 46.7%; p = 0.03) occurred. Clavien's grades for complications were higher in the control group (p = 0.04). Mortality, pulmonary embolism, anastomotic fistulae, and wound dehiscence were similar between two groups. The length of stay was reduced by 3 days in the immunonutrition group.
conclusionsIn this pilot case-control study, immunonutrition is associated with a decrease in postoperative complications, urinary tract infections, Clavien's grade for complications, and paralytic ileus in patients undergoing cystectomy for bladder cancer. Prospective randomized placebo control studies are needed to confirm these promising results.
