Predictive value of the preoperative prognostic nutritional index for postoperative progression in patients with pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms.

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
Objective: The preoperative nutritional status of cancer patients is closely related to prognosis. The prognostic nutritional index (PNI) has been shown to predict the prognosis of a variety of tumors, but its study in pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (pNENs) is lacking. The aim of the present study is to investigate the predictive value of the preoperative PNI for postoperative progression in patients with pNENs. Methods: The medical records of 181 patients with pNENs, who underwent surgery, were retrospectively analyzed. A time-dependent receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was plotted to determine the optimal cut-off value of the preoperative PNI. Correlations between the preoperative PNI and clinicopathological parameters were analyzed using multiple linear regression. A Kaplan-Meier curve was applied to assess the progression-free survival (PFS) rate, which was tested using a log rank. Univariate and multivariate Cox proportional risk regression models were used to analyze the predictive value of the preoperative PNI on prognosis. Results: The optimal cut-off value of the preoperative PNI was 48.275. The patients were divided into a high PNI group (PNI > 48.275, Conclusion: The preoperative PNI has a predictive value for postoperative progression in patients with pNENs.
