Prognostic Value of Preoperative Prognostic Nutritional Index and Body Mass Index Combination in Patients with Unresectable Hepatocellular Carcinoma After Transarterial Chemoembolization.
Article in Cancer management and research, 2021. 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
backgroundThe aim of our study was to validate the value of combined preoperative prognostic nutritional index and body mass index in predicting overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) in patients who underwent treatment of transarterial chemoembolization.
methodsA single-centered retrospective study of 285 unresectable HCC patients who received treatment of transarterial chemoembolization from January 2013 to June 2015 was conducted. In our retrospective analysis, preoperative PNI and BMI data of patients were calculated and analyzed. The data of patient demographic, clinical, pathological and hematological characteristics were also systematically acquired and analyzed.
resultsLow PNI was correlated with cirrhosis, AFP ≥ 200 mg/L, Child-Pugh class B, ALT and AST ≥ 40 IU/L, TBIL≥21μmol/L, vascular invasion, tumor size ≥5 cm BCLC A/B and TNM III-IV stages (all
conclusionPreoperative PNI and BMI are independent predictors for prognosis in intermediate or advanced hepatocellular carcinoma patients after transarterial chemoembolization treatment. The PNI and BMI combination can promote the accuracy of prognostic prediction for patients with HCC compared with single score.
