Study on the correlation between controlling nutritional status score and clinical biochemical indicators in patients with colorectal cancer.
Article in Heliyon, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Purpose: The controlling nutritional status (CONUT) score is an important tool for predicting the prognosis of colorectal cancer (CRC); however, its effectiveness is relatively insufficient. This study aimed to screen for more effective clinical indicators as supplements to the CONUT scoring system and improve the predictive value of CRC prognosis. Patients and methods: Between 2014 and 2020, the clinical information of all CRC patients in our unit was retrospectively collected, and the CONUT scores were calculated based on the levels of serum albumin (ALB), lymphocytes (LC), and total cholesterol. The included patients were divided into the following three groups: normal nutrition (0-1), mild malnutrition (2-4), and moderate-to-severe malnutrition (5-12). The correlations between the CONUT score and baseline characteristics and clinical indicators were evaluated. Results: This study ultimately included 5014 CRC patients. The nutritional status of patients with colon cancer (CC) was worse than that of rectal cancer (RC). The nutritional status was worse in men than in women. The older the patient, the poorer the nutritional status, and the poorer the nutritional status, the longer the hospital stay. In addition, poor nutritional status in patients is indicated by higher values of neutrophils (NE), monocytes (MC), eosinophils (EOS), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), carcinoembryogenic antigen (CEA), and lower values of white blood cells (WBC), basophils (BAS), haemoglobin (HB), total protein (TP), triglycerides (TG), low density lipoprotein (LDL), aspartate transaminase (AST), and blood urea nitrogen (BUN), which was statistically significant ( Conclusion: Additional variables such as WBC, NE, MC, EOS, BAS, and LDL may be used as supplementary indicators in the CONUT scoring system to more effectively predict the clinical prognosis of CRC patients.
