1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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/

aimThe prognostic outcome of the controlling nutritional status (CONUT) score in patients with colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) who underwent hepatectomy has not been investigated. The aim of this study was to investigate the prognostic value of preoperative CONUT score and other systemic inflammation-related biomarkers in patients who underwent hepatectomy for CRLM. PATIENTS AND

methodsThe subjects included 145 patients with CRLM who underwent hepatectomy and retrospectively investigated the association of preoperative CONUT score with disease-free survival (DFS), surgical failure-free survival (SFS), and overall survival (OS) using univariate and multivariate analyses.

resultsIn this study, the cut-off of the CONUT score was 4. In the univariate analysis, the high CONUT score was associated with worse SFS and OS (p=0.01, 0.01). The multivariate analysis showed significant and independent predictors of OS were lymph node metastases (p=0.03) and a high CONUT score (p=0.04). In patients with a high CONUT score, postoperative complications due to infections were significantly more than in those with a low CONUT score (27% vs. 9%, p=0.04).

conclusionThe CONUT score can be useful for predicting not only short-term but also long-term outcomes in patients with CRLM after hepatectomy.
