Relationship between Preoperative Nutritional Status and Clinical Outcomes in Patients with Head and Neck Cancer.
Article in Nutrients, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
The nutritional status in cancer patients is related to cancer survival and surgical outcome. The objective of this study was to examine the relationship between preoperative prognostic nutritional index (PNI) and post-operative clinical outcomes in head and neck cancer (HNC) patients. A total of 1282 head and neck cancer patients receiving surgical resection in Changhua Christian Hospital between 1 January 2010 and 30 August 2021 were recruited in the final analysis after undergoing propensity score matching analysis. The logistic regression model was used to assess the association of the PNI group with overall and various complications. The patients in the high PNI group had a significant lower incidence of overall complications, medical complications, and pulmonary complications; but not significant surgical complications. The high PNI group had lower mortality risk. The results in this study revealed that PNI score was a significant independent predictor of postoperative complications in HNC patients undergoing surgical resection. We recommend preoperative testing and evaluation of HNC patients to identify low PNI and high-risk groups for postoperative surveillance.
