Impact of Nutritional Status on Postoperative Outcomes in Cancer Patients following Elective Pancreatic Surgery.
Article in Nutrients, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
backgroundPancreatic surgery has been associated with important postoperative morbidity, mortality and prolonged length of hospital stay. In pancreatic surgery, the effect of poor preoperative nutritional status and muscle wasting on postsurgery clinical outcomes still remains unclear and controversial. MATERIALS AND
methodsA total of 103 consecutive patients with histologically proven carcinoma undergoing elective pancreatic surgery from June 2015 through to July 2020 were included and retrospectively studied. A multidimensional nutritional assessment was performed before elective surgery as required by the local clinical pathway. Clinical and nutritional data were collected in a medical database at diagnosis and after surgery.
resultsIn the multivariable analysis, body mass index (OR 1.25, 95% CI 1.04-1.59,
conclusionsAn impaired nutritional status before pancreatic surgery affects many postoperative outcomes. Assessment of nutritional status should be part of routine preoperative procedures in order to achieve early and appropriate nutritional support in pancreatic cancer patients. Further studies are needed to better understand the effect of preoperative nutritional therapy on short-term clinical outcomes in patients undergoing pancreatic elective surgery.
