Increased Rate of Serum Prealbumin Level after Preoperative Enteral Nutrition as an Indicator of Morbidity in Gastrectomy for Gastric Cancer with Outlet Obstruction.
Article in World journal of surgery, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
backgroundPreoperative malnutrition is believed to contribute to increased postoperative complications. Preoperative serum prealbumin level was reported to be a predictor of nutritional status and postoperative complications after gastrointestinal surgery, including gastrectomy. Gastric outlet obstruction caused by gastric cancer leads to insufficient nutritional status. However, the impact of preoperative enteral nutrition using naso-jejunal feeding tubes for patients with gastric outlet obstruction is not fully understood.
methodsFrom July 2010 to June 2020, 50 patients with gastric cancer-induced outlet obstruction who underwent gastrectomy following preoperative enteral nutrition via feeding tube were included. We investigated the relationship between changes in nutritional status after preoperative enteral nutrition and postoperative complications. Postoperative complications were defined as grade ≥II based on the Clavien-Dindo classification.
resultsThe median period of preoperative enteral nutrition was 10 days. The median increase rate of the serum prealbumin level was 10.5% (interquartile range, 0.63-38.2%), and patients with an increase rate ≥ 10% were defined as the elevated group. Postoperative morbidity was significantly higher in the non-elevated group (P = 0.0031). Univariate and multivariate analyses showed that an increased rate of the serum prealbumin level was an independent risk factor of postoperative complications for patients with gastric outlet obstruction caused by gastric cancer (P = 0.0025 and P = 0.009, respectively).
conclusionsPreoperative enteral nutrition improved the serum prealbumin level of patients with gastric cancer-induced outlet obstruction, and an increased rate of prealbumin can be an indicator of sufficient preoperative enteral nutrition and decreased postoperative morbidity.
