Underweight as a Risk Factor for Major Intra-abdominal Malignancy Surgeries.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 relationship between body mass index (BMI) and postoperative outcomes for oncology surgeries among the Asian population remains controversial. A prevailing perception suggests that excess adiposity is associated with reduced cancer survival. However, several reports have shown that overweight or early obese states confer better survival outcomes. It is hypothesized that patients with better nutrition and surplus calories grant survival advantages to radical cancer treatment. The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between BMI and postoperative 30-day and one-year mortality in the Asian population. Methods This retrospective review investigates the postoperative mortality, intensive care unit (ICU) admission, and length of hospital stay following major abdominal cancer surgeries within the Asian population. Patients were stratified into three groups based on their BMI: underweight (BMI < 18.5 kg/m
