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
The present study aimed to determine the correlation between controlling nutritional status (CONUT) and prognosis in resected breast cancer patients. Totally, 861 breast cancer patients with surgical resection in West China Hospital of Sichuan University between 2007 and 2010 were included. The relationship between CONUT and various clinicopathological factors as well as prognosis was evaluated. The results showed that the optimal cutoff value for CONUT to predict the 5-year survival was 3 and CONUT had a higher area under the ROC curve (AUC) for 5-year disease free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) prediction compared with the neutrophil lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and prognostic nutritional index (PNI). High CONUT was significantly correlated with older age, lymph node involvement, advanced T-stage, and surgery type. In the multivariate analysis, CONUT-high patients had worse DFS and OS, when compared with CONUT-low patients. In conclusion, preoperative CONUT is a useful marker for predicting long term outcomes in breast cancer patients after curative resection.
