Preoperative Prognostic Nutritional Index Predict Survival in Patients With Resectable Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma.
Article in Frontiers in nutrition, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 22 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
Background: Prognostic nutritional index (PNI) is one of the most important factors related to prognosis in many types of cancer. This study aimed to evaluate the PNI on predicting the overall survival (OS) in resectable esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). Methods: A total of 165 patients with resectable ESCC were included in our retrospective study. PNI values before surgery were calculated for each patient [PNI = 10 × albumin (gr/dL) + 0.005 × total lymphocyte count (mm Results: Among the 165 patients, 34 (20.6%) were women and 131 (79.4%) were men. The mean age was 62.67 ± 7.95 years, with the age range from 44 to 85 years. The average PNI was 46.68 ± 8.66. ROC curve showed that the best cutoff value was 43.85. All patients were divided into two groups: 72 patients (43.6%) were in the low PNI group (<43.85), while 93 patients (56.4%) were in the high PNI group (≥ 43.85). Univariate analysis demonstrated that PNI, tumor length, and T-stage and pathological stage were related to the prognosis of patients with ESCC ( Conclusion: PNI is a simple and useful predictive marker for the OS time in patients with radical esophagectomy.
