Impact of Preoperative Nutritional Status on Long-term Survival in Patients With Stage I-III Colorectal Cancer.
Article in In vivo (Athens, Greece). The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
BACKGROUND/
aimIn addition to oncological and treatment factors, the outcomes of cancer treatment are greatly influenced by host factors, such as the nutritional status. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between the preoperative nutritional status and the prognosis of colorectal cancer patients using three nutritional indices. PATIENTS AND
methodsThe target cohort consisted of 529 patients with stage I-III colorectal cancer, who underwent curative surgery between January 2015 and December 2019. The nutritional indices were calculated according to the equations that follow. Prognostic nutritional index (PNI)=10×serum albumin concentration (g/dl) +0.005×peripheral lymphocyte count (/μl). Nutritional risk index (NRI)=15.19×serum albumin concentration (g/dl)+41.7×present weight/usual weight. Geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI)=14.89×serum albumin concentration (g/dl)+41.7×present weight/ideal weight. Ideal weight was calculated as follows: height(cm)-100-[(height(cm)-150)/4] for men and height(cm)-100-[(height(cm)-150)/2.5] for women.
resultsIn common with all nutritional indices (PNI, NRI and GNRI), the low-nutritional index group had significantly lower relapse-free and overall survival rates than the high-nutritional index group. Furthermore, a subgroup analysis according to the NRI showed the association of the NRI with the patient prognosis for each stage.
conclusionThe preoperative nutritional status may have a close relationship with the prognosis in patients who receive curative surgery for colorectal cancer.
