The Effects of Preoperative Oral Carbohydrate on Frequency of T and NK Cells in Patients with Cervical Cancer Treated Using Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy and Surgery: A Prospective Cohort Study.
Article in BioMed research international, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundImmune dysfunction can occur after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) and surgery for cancer. We investigated whether preoperative oral carbohydrate affected the postoperative percentages of T cells (CD4
methodsThis prospective cohort study enrolled consecutive patients with cervical cancer treated by radical hysterectomy with PLND at the Gynecologic Oncology Department of Fujian Provincial Cancer Hospital (China) between January 2018 and December 2018. Patients were divided into three groups according to the treatment method: NAC (two cycles, surgery 1 month later), NAC+CHO (chemotherapy and surgical methods same as with the NAC group but with 300 mL of oral carbohydrate administered 2 h before surgery), and non-NAC (surgery alone). Percentages of NK, CD3
resultsThe final analysis included 77 patients (non-NAC group,
conclusionPreoperative oral carbohydrate can improve the postoperative populations of NK and T cells after the treatment of cervical cancer by NAC and surgery.
