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

The prognostic nutritional index (PNI) has emerged as a potential predictor of clinical outcomes in various cancers. However, a quantativetily analysis of its role in endometrial cancer (EC) remains lacking. This meta-analysis aims to evaluate the prognostic value of PNI on the survival outcomes of patients with EC. A comprehensive literature search was conducted in PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, Wanfang, and CNKI to identify relevant cohort studies. Studies were included if they provided sufficient data to calculate hazard ratios (HRs) for overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) based on PNI levels. Data extraction and quality assessment were performed independently by two reviewers. Pooled HRs with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated using a random-effects model to account for heterogeneity. A total of 10 studies, encompassing 3656 patients, met the inclusion criteria. The meta-analysis revealed that a low PNI was significantly associated with poorer OS (HR = 2.01, 95% CI = 1.62-2.49, p < 0.05; I
