Impact of prognostic nutritional index on the recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma after a curative resection.

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
BACKGROUNDS/
aimsThe purpose of this retrospective study was to determine the association between prognostic nutritional index (PNI) and recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma after a curative resection.
methodsBetween 2007 to 2019, 130 patients who underwent curative hepatectomy for hepatocellular carcinoma were enrolled. PNI was calculated. Its cutoff value was identified through receiver operating characteristic curve analysis. According to PNI, patients were divided into two groups. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to identify independent risk factors for recurrence.
resultsThe cutoff value of PNI was 52. In univariate analysis, alcoholic liver cirrhosis (
conclusionsPNI, a nutritional and immunologic factor, is an independent prognostic factor that can predict the recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma in patients undergoing a curative resection.
