The association between an inflammation-based nutritional tool (Glasgow Prognostic Score) and length of hospital stay in patients with haematological cancer.

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
backgroundThis is a retrospective study to identify if Glasgow Prognostic Score (GPS) is associated with length of hospital stay (LOS) in haematological cancer.
methodsThe participants were adult inpatients at a single centre in between 2018 and 2022. Serum levels of CRP and albumin were measured at admission. GPS was calculated as follows: point "0" as CRP < 10 mg/L and albumin ≥ 35 g/L; point "2" as CRP ≥ 10 mg/L and albumin < 35 g/L; point "1" as either CRP ≥ 10 mg/L or albumin < 35 g/L. Patients with point "0" were classified as low risk whilst point "2" as high risk. LOS was defined as the interval between the admission and discharge date.
resultsAs a result, the average age was 59.6 ± 12.6 years and the average LOS was 6.0 days (IQR = 2 days, 11 days). Of 1621 patients, 8.8% of them were high risk. GPS was associated with LOS (β = 2.7 days; 95% CI = 0.8 days, 4.6 days; p trend < 0.001) after full adjustment. Each point of GPS was associated with 1.9 days (95% CI = 1.4 days, 2.4 days) longer in LOS with full adjustment. The association was more prominent in younger patients (< 65 years), patients with leukaemia and myelodysplastic syndrome, and those with normal body weight status (18.5-24 kg/m
conclusionGPS was associated with LOS in Chinese patients with haematological cancer, indicating GPS could be a useful tool to predict outcome.
