The Association between Prognostic Nutritional Index (PNI) and Intraoperative Transfusion in Patients Undergoing Hepatectomy for Hepatocellular Carcinoma: A Retrospective Cohort Study.
Article in Cancers, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
backgroundPNI is significantly associated with surgical outcomes; however, the association between PNI and intraoperative transfusions is unknown.
methodsThis study retrospectively analyzed 1065 patients who underwent hepatectomy. We divided patients into two groups according to the PNI (<44 and >44) and compared their transfusion rates and surgical outcomes. We performed multivariate logistic and Cox regression analysis to determine risk factors for transfusion and the 5-year survival. Additionally, we found the net reclassification index (NRI) to validate the discriminatory power of PNI.
resultsThe PNI <44 group had higher transfusion rates (adjusted odds ratio [OR]: 2.20, 95%CI: 1.06-4.60,
conclusionsPreoperative PNI <44 was significantly associated with higher transfusion rates and surgical outcomes.
