Nutritional status of patients with gastrointestinal cancers and analysis of factors for postoperative infections.
Article in BMC cancer, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundPatients with gastrointestinal cancer have a higher risk of malnutrition and postoperative infection.
objectiveTo investigate the nutritional status of patients with gastrointestinal cancers and factors for postoperative infections.
methodBased on the nutritional risk status, 294 patients with gastrointestinal tumours were divided into a nutritional risk group and a non-nutritional risk group, and the differences between the two groups were compared.
resultsAmong the included patients, 128 were at preoperative nutritional risk (43.54%); there were significant differences between the two groups in terms of age (66.25 ± 11.73 vs. 58.36 ± 10.41 years, P < 0.001), percentage of gastric cancers (39.84% vs. 28.92%, P = 0.049), percentage of stage IV tumours (60.16% vs. 45.18%, P = 0.011), total protein (64.90 ± 6.82 vs. 67.21 ± 7.41 g/L, P = 0.007), albumin (38.32 ± 4.74 vs. 41.61 ± 5.10 g/L, P < 0.001) and haemoglobin (112.72 ± 22.63 vs. 125.11 ± 22.79 g/L, P < 0.001). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that risk factors for postoperative infections in patients included age ≥ 60 years (odds ratio [OR] = 2.266 95%CI = 1.357-4.134), Nutrition Risk Screening (NRS)-2002 score ≥ 3 (OR = 2.183, 95%CI = 1.218-4.102), alcohol history (OR = 2.505, 95%CI = 1.370-4.683), comorbid diabetes mellitus (OR = 2.110, 95%CI = 1.381-4.023) and surgical time ≥ 6 h (OR = 2.446, 95%CI = 1.359-4.758).
conclusionPatients with gastrointestinal cancers are at high incidence of preoperative nutritional risk, and those with an NRS-2002 score of > 3, history of alcohol consumption and surgical time of > 6 h have a higher risk of postoperative infections.
