1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundCurrently, many nutritional indicators, including controlling nutritional status score (CONUT), can be used to assess a patient's nutritional status and have been reported as reliable predictors of multiple malignancies. However, the value of CONUT score in predicting postoperative outcomes in patients with hilar cholangiocarcinoma has not been explored. In this study, its predictive value will be discussed and compared with the known predictors the neutrophil lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and prognostic nutritional index (PNI).

methodsPreoperative CONUT scores, PNI and NLR levels of 94 Hilar cholangiocarcinoma (HCCA) patients who underwent radical-intent resection of hepatobiliary surgery in our hospital from March 2010 to April 2019 were retrospectively collected and analyzed. They were grouped according to their optimal cutoff value and the prognostic effects of patients in each group were compared respectively.

resultsCONUT

conclusionCONUT score may be of some clinical reference value in evaluating postoperative prognosis of HCCA patients.
