Risk factors for postoperative hypoalbuminemia in ovarian cancer: a predictive nomogram.
Article in BMC women's health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectivePostoperative hypoalbuminemia increases the risk of delayed wound healing and infections and prolongs hospital stays, and may even increases mortality. Hypoalbuminemia is commonly observed after radical ovarian cancer surgery. The primary aim of this study is to determine risk factors for postoperative hypoalbuminemia after radical ovarian cancer surgery, and to develop a prediction nomogram for its prevention and management.
methodsThis retrospective study analyzed patients who underwent radical ovarian cancer surgery at Ya'an People's Hospital, Sichuan Province, China, from January 2018 to December 2023. All surgeries were performed by the same surgical team. A total of 142 patients were included for analysis. Patients were divided into two groups based on their serum albumin(ALB) levels on postoperative day 1: the hypoalbuminemia group (ALB < 35 g/L) and the control group (ALB ≥ 35 g/L). Univariate and multivariate analyses were used to identify risk factors, and a prediction nomogram was developed based on the statistical results. The prediction performance of the risk factors and the model was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves.
resultsAmong the 142 patients, 69 developed postoperative hypoalbuminemia, with an incidence rate of 48.6%. Univariate and multivariate binary logistic regression analyses revealed that the independent risk factors for postoperative hypoalbuminemia in ovarian cancer patients included: preoperative C-reactive protein (CRP) level, preoperative ALB level, excessive intraoperative net fluid gain, weight loss > 5% in the month prior to surgery, and concomitant gastrointestinal surgery. The nomogram model, based on these five independent risk factors (Area Under the Curve [AUC] = 0.898, 95% CI: 0.846-0.949, sensitivity: 0.826, specificity: 0.836).
conclusionPreoperative CRP level, preoperative ALB level, excessive intraoperative net fluid gain, weight loss > 5% in the month prior to surgery, and concomitant gastrointestinal surgery are independent risk factors for postoperative hypoalbuminemia in patients undergoing radical ovarian cancer surgery. The nomogram prediction model, based on these five factors, can effectively predict the risk of postoperative hypoalbuminemia, offering a guide for managing this complication.
