Impact of preoperative malnutrition, based on albumin level and body mass index, on operative outcomes in noncirrhosis patients with colorectal liver metastasis.

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: Serum albumin level and body mass index (BMI), acting as indicators of nutritional status, are commonly applied to predict surgical outcomes in cancer patients. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of preoperative serum albumin level and BMI on the operative outcomes of noncirrhotic patients with colorectal cancer liver metastasis who underwent hepatectomy. Methods: This was a retrospective study of medical records from the period between January 2013 and December 2022. Preoperative malnutrition was defined as hypoalbuminemia with a serum albumin level of <35 g/L before surgery or a BMI of <18.5 kg/m Results: Among the 159 eligible patients, 42 (26.4%) were classified into the preoperative malnutrition group. The incidence of blood transfusion (45.24% vs. 18.80%, Conclusion: Preoperative malnutrition in patients who underwent hepatectomy for colorectal cancer liver metastasis was associated with worse surgical outcomes, especially aggrandizing the emergence of postoperative complications.
