Comparison of preoperative Nutritional Risk Index and Body Mass Index for predicting immediate postoperative outcomes following major gastrointestinal surgery: Cohort-study.
Article in Annals of medicine and surgery (2012), 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
backgroundMalnutrition is a major risk factor for morbidity and mortality following gastrointestinal (GI) surgery. Nutritional Risk Index (NRI) and Body Mass Index (BMI) are the two well-validated tools that are readily available and do not add financial burden to the patients. The study aimed to analyze NRI and BMI as a preoperative nutritional indicator of postoperative complications following GI surgeries.
methodsIt is an observational study, where preoperative nutritional status and early postoperative complications <30 days (infectious or noninfectious) were studied. The patients admitted between July 2015 to May 2017, who underwent major GI surgeries were included in the study. The correlation between NRI and BMI of these patients were evaluated.
resultsThe rate of wound infection was 4 (30.7%) out of 13 in severe malnutrition subgroup defined by NRI <83.5 which was found to be statistically significant (
conclusionIn cases of malignancy and advanced age, NRI is a better predictor of immediate postoperative outcome than BMI.
