The prognostic nutritional index for postoperative infectious complication in patients with ulcerative colitis undergoing proctectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis following subtotal colectomy.
Article in Journal of the anus, rectum and colon, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
objectivesRestorative proctocolectomy and ileal pouch-anal anastomosis is frequently performed in patients with ulcerative colitis and factors suspected of increasing the risk of postoperative infectious complications. Using a three-stage approach may result in improvement in overall outcomes, because this leads to improvement in nutritional status and reduction of immunosuppressive doses. However, the influence of preoperative nutritional status on postoperative infectious complications after this procedure has not been examined. The aim of this study was to clarify the potential associations between nutritional status and postoperative infectious complications in patients with ulcerative colitis undergoing proctectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis.
methodsThe records of 110 patients who had undergone proctectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis from January 2000 to March 2018 in Mie University and met the eligibility criteria were reviewed and possible associations between postoperative infectious complications and clinical factors were assessed.
resultsOf the remaining 110 patients, 18 (16.4%) had developed postoperative infectious complications. Multivariate analysis revealed that operative bleeding ≥270 g and prognostic nutritional index <47 were significant predictors of postoperative infectious complications (P = 0.033, 0.0076, respectively). Various variables associated with immunosuppressives before ileal pouch-anal anastomosis were not associated with postoperative infectious complications.
conclusionsOur findings suggest that immunosuppressives have no association with postoperative infectious complications, whereas a poor prognostic nutritional index may be a significant predictor of postoperative infectious complications in patients with ulcerative colitis undergoing proctectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis.
