Preoperative nutritional optimization for adult spinal deformity: Review.
Review in Spine deformity, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
purposeThe main objective of this review article is to examine the role that nutrition has on adult spinal deformity. The information presented in this review aims to provide spine surgeons with a broad overview of screening, assessment, and interventional strategies that may be used for presurgical nutritional optimization.
methodsA comprehensive literature review utilizing three biomedical databases was performed to generate articles of interest. Published articles related to nutrition, adult spinal deformity, spine surgery and orthopaedics were reviewed for the composition of this article. Nutrition may play a role in optimizing postoperative outcomes following adult spinal deformity surgeries, such as limiting delirium, length of stay, blood transfusion, and other medical complications. The use of screening tools, such as the PNI and CONUT score can assess preoperative nutritional status and may provide some utility in evaluating nutrition status in patients undergoing deformity surgery. Balancing both macronutrients and micronutrients, notably, carbohydrates, protein, albumin, and vitamin D can play a role in preoperative optimization.
conclusionAdult spinal deformity patients are at an increased risk for malnutrition. These patients should be assessed for nutrition status to prime them for surgery, minimize complications, and maximize their outcomes. However, further studies are needed to determine how nutrition ultimately affects adult spinal deformity patients in the postoperative period and to establish specific nutritional recommendations for this unique population.
