Preoperative anemia is associated with prolonged hospital stay and increased facility discharges after glioblastoma resection.

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
Background: Despite numerous operative and non-operative treatment modalities, patients with glioblastoma (GBM) have a dismal prognosis. Identifying predictors of survival and recurrence is an essential strategy for guiding treatment decisions, and existing literature demonstrates associations between hematologic data and clinical outcomes in cancer patients. As such, we provide a novel analysis that examines associations between preoperative hematologic data and postoperative outcomes following GBM resection. Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of patients who underwent GBM resection from January 2016 to December 2020. Standard demographic and clinical variables were collected, including pre-operative complete blood count (CBC), and inferential analyses were performed to analyze associations between CBC parameters and postoperative outcomes. Results: One hundred and eighty nine (189) patients met inclusion criteria, with a mean age of 60.7 years. On multivariate regression analysis, controlling for age, gender, and performance status, we observed trends suggesting anemic patients may have longer lengths of stay (t statistic = 3.23, Conclusion: Preoperative anemia may be a useful pre-operative predictor of postsurgical GBM outcomes. Further study is required to determine whether pre-operative hemoglobin optimization can improve postoperative clinical outcomes, and whether other hematologic and inflammatory markers are predictive of postoperative recovery and functional status.
