1 · What the graph read from 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.

Abstract

objectiveMalnutrition is frequent in ovarian cancer (OC) patients and may compromise post-operative outcomes. The aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of pre-operative immunonutrition on the surgical outcome of OC patients, and on their nutritional, inflammatory and peripheral blood immune status.

methodsA prospective study was performed between September 2016 and April 2020. Immune-enhancing enteral nutrition was administered to 42 patients before surgery according to their nutritional status assessed by the Malnutritional Universal Screening Tool. Biochemical and hematological monitoring was performed before and after immunonutrition. Post-operative outcomes were assessed and compared with those of a similar group of patients treated without nutritional support.

resultsOf the 42 immune-nourished patients, 23 (54.8%) had a low, 11 (26.2%) an intermediate and 8 (19%) a high risk of malnutrition. After the immunonutritional intake, significant variations of prealbumin, creatinine and white blood cells were detected. All T cell populations had an increasing trend, in particular CD3

conclusionPre-operative immunonutrition improves the surgical outcome of OC patients. After immunonutrition, an increase of CD3
