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 prognostic nutritional index (PNI) is an important prognostic factor for survival outcomes in various hematological malignancies. The current study focused on exploring the predictive value of the PNI in newly diagnosed follicular lymphoma (FL) in China. Materials and methods: The clinical indicators and follow-up data of 176 patients who received chemotherapy or immunotherapy combined with chemotherapy with FL in our hospital from January 2016 to March 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. Cox proportional hazard model was used for univariate and multivariate analyses. Kaplan-Meier curves were used to calculate survival rates and draw survival curves. The log-rank test was applied to compare differences between groups. Results: The optimal cut-off value of PNI was 44.3. All patients were divided into a high PNI group (>44.3) and a low PNI group (≤44.3). The low PNI group had a low CR rate and a high risk of death, with a tendency toward POD24, and Both OS and PFS were worse than those in the high PNI group. PNI was able to predict OS and PFS in FL patients and was the only independent predictor of OS ( Conclusion: PNI is a significant prognostic indicator for newly diagnosed FL in China that can early identify patients with poor prognosis and guide clinical treatment decisions.
