High preoperative serum prealbumin predicts long-term survival in resected esophageal squamous cell cancer.
Article in Cancer management and research, 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
purposeThe current study aimed to explore the prognostic role of preoperative prealbumin in resectedesophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC).
methodsA total of 1374 resected ESCC patients were retrospectively reviewed. Serum for prealbumin analyses was taken within 1-3 days before the operation. Overall survival (OS) was determined using the Kaplan-Meier method; the univariate log-rank test and the multivariate Cox proportional hazard model were used to evaluate the prognostic role of prealbumin. A receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was plotted, and the area under the curve (AUC) was calculated to compare the prediction accuracy of prealbumin and albumin for OS.
resultsFinally, 532 patients were included in this study. The 5-year OS rate was favourable for the high prealbumin group versus the median and low prealbumin groups (58.1%
conclusionPrealbumin is an independent prognostic factor and a prognostic indicator of postoperative outcomes in ESCC patients. Future prospective studies are warranted to confirm our results.
