Prognostic Nutritional Index as a Predictor of Prognosis in Postoperative Patients With Gastric Cancer.

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.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/
aimThe prognostic nutritional index (PNI) has been reported as an immunonutritional index that can easily evaluate nutritional status and immunocompetence from blood tests. The purpose of this study was to investigate the usefulness of PNI as a prognostic factor in postoperative gastric cancer patients. PATIENTS AND
methodsIn this retrospective cohort study, we evaluated 258 patients with pStage I-III gastric cancer who underwent radical resection at Yokohama City University Hospital, from 2015 to 2021. To examine the association with prognosis, we analyzed clinicopathological factors including PNI (<47/≥47), age (<75/≥75), sex (male/female), depth (pT1/≥pT2), lymph node metastasis (pN+/pN-), lymphatic invasion (ly+/ly-), vascular invasion (v+/v-), histological type (enteric/spread) and postoperative complications.
resultsIn univariate analysis, PNI (p<0.001), depth of tumor invasion (p<0.001), lymph node involvement (p<0.001), age (p=0.002), lymphatic invasion (p<0.001), vascular invasion (p<0.001), and postoperative complications (p=0.003) were associated with overall survival. In multivariate analysis, PNI (HR=2.100, 95% confidence interval 1.225-3.601, p=0.007), tumor invasion, lymph node metastasis, and postoperative complications were shown as poor prognostic factors for overall survival.
conclusionPNI is an independent prognostic factor for overall and recurrence-free survival in postoperative gastric cancer patients. PNI could be implemented in clinical practice to identify patients at higher risk for poor outcomes.
