Clinical significance of preoperative nutritional parameter and patient outcomes after pancreatectomy: A retrospective study at two academic institute.
Article in Annals of hepato-biliary-pancreatic surgery, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
BACKGROUNDS/
aimsPreoperative nutritional status has been reported to influence patient outcomes after pancreatectomy. The Prognostic Nutritional Index (PNI) is a useful parameter to reflect the outcomes of patients undergoing gastrointestinal surgery. Therefore, the relationship between the PNI and clinicopathological factors, surgical data, and postoperative morbidity were retrospectively evaluated at two academic institutes in a cohort study.
methodsCurative pancreatectomy was performed on 222 patients at the University of Nagasaki between 1995 and March 2015, and 101 at the University of Miyazaki between April 2015and March 2018. The PNI was calculated using preoperative albumin and total cholesterol levels.
resultsThe mean PNI in our series was 39.2±5.4 and the prevalence of PNIs less than 40 was observed in 134 patients (44%). The PNI was not significantly different between normal, hard, and fatty architecture of the pancreatic parenchyma. The PNIs were significantly negatively correlated with higher age (
conclusionsAlthough the preoperative PNIs reflect the perioperative nutritional status, its predictive usefulness for postoperative complications could not be significantly confirmed.
