Prognostic Significance of Preoperative Prognostic Nutritional Index for Overall Survival and Postoperative Complications in Esophageal Cancer Patients.
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 31 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
backgroundPrognostic nutritional index (PNI), neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), and systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) are the most common factors to estimate nutritional and inflammatory status. The aim of this study is to systematically evaluate the prognostic significance of above nutritional and inflammatory indexes for overall survival (OS) and surgical complications in esophageal cancer patients.
methodsEsophageal cancer patients who underwent esophagectomy were retrospectively collected. PNI, NLR, PLR, and SII were introduced to evaluate the baseline nutritional and inflammatory status.
resultsA total of 407 patients were included in the present study. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis revealed that PNI-low group, NLR-high group and PLR-high group, all showed a significantly shorter OS (34.38% vs 49.46%,
conclusionPreoperative low PNI was not only an independent prognostic factor for worse survival in esophageal cancer patients but also associated with high incidence of postoperative complications.
