Preoperative Nutritional Status Influences Enteral Nutrition Weaning 6 Months Post-Surgery in Patients with Esophageal Cancer.
Article in Asian Pacific journal of cancer prevention : APJCP, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
objectiveThis study aimed to clarify whether nutritional status at admission affects enteral nutrition weaning 6 months after surgery in patients with esophageal cancer.
methodsThis was a retrospective study of 81 patients who underwent subtotal esophageal cancer resection between April 2014 and February 2016. The survey items were as follows: 1) sex, 2) age, 3) presence or absence of family members living together, 4) clinical stage, 5) surgical procedure, 6) reconstructed organs, 7) nutritional status at admission, 8) presence or absence of postoperative complications (anastomotic leakage, chylothorax, and recurrent laryngeal nerve paralysis), and 9) presence or absence of treatment other than surgery (chemo- or radiotherapy).
resultsThe enteral nutrition withdrawal rate after 6 months was 15.5% in the malnutrition group and 84.5% in the normal nutrition group (p = 0.007). In a comparison between groups with and without enteral nutrition after 6 months, a significant association was observed with surgical procedure, nutritional status at admission, and postoperative complications (p < 0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that the odds of discontinuing enteral nutrition 6 months later were 5.692 (hazard ratio: 1.545-20.962) for malnutrition on admission and 11.921 (hazard ratio: 3.449-41.207) for complications.
conclusionRegardless of the presence or absence of treatment other than surgery, preoperative nutritional improvement is beneficial for increasing postoperative oral intake.
