Using the geriatric nutritional risk index to predict outcomes in older patients with remnant gastric cancer after gastrectomy: a retrospective multicenter study in Japan.
Article in Surgery today, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
purposeThis study investigated the prognostic value of the geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI) in patients undergoing curative gastrectomy for remnant gastric cancer (RGC).
methodsThis multicenter retrospective study included 105 patients with RGC of ≥ 65 years of age who underwent curative gastrectomy at 10 institutions in Japan between January 2000 and December 2016. Postoperative complications, overall survival (OS), and disease-specific survival (DSS) were analyzed.
resultsReceiver operating curve analyses indicated that the optimal cutoff value of the GNRI for OS was 95.4. Patients were categorized into high and low GNRI groups based on the optimal GNRI cutoff value. The GNRI was significantly correlated with body mass index (p < 0.001), amount of bleeding (p = 0.021), Clavien-Dindo grade 5 postoperative complications (p = 0.040), death caused by primary disease (p = 0.010), and death caused by other diseases (p = 0.002). The OS and DSS were significantly worse in the low GNRI group. A low GNRI and T3 or deeper tumor invasion were independent prognostic factors for OS and DSS.
conclusionsThe GNRI is a promising predictor of both short- and long-term outcomes in older patients with RGC.
