Predictive value of preoperative frailty combined with Controlling Nutritional Status score for postoperative lung infection in breast cancer patients.
Observational study in Medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Breast cancer, the most common malignancy in women, often requires modified radical mastectomy, which can lead to complications like postoperative pulmonary infections. These infections, with an incidence of 11.26 to 20.19%, significantly impact prognosis and mortality. Frailty and nutritional status (Controlling Nutritional Status [CONUT] score) are key predictors of these complications, highlighting the need for their early assessment. This study assesses the predictive value of preoperative frailty combined with the CONUT score for postoperative pulmonary infections in breast cancer patients. Patients who underwent elective modified radical mastectomy for breast cancer at Fuyang Cancer Hospital between January 2022 to February 2024 were included. Frailty and nutritional status were evaluated within 24 hours of admission using the frailty scale and CONUT score, respectively. Multivariable logistic regression was employed to identify independent risk factors for postoperative pulmonary infections. The predictive performance of the combined frailty and CONUT score was assessed using receiver operating characteristic curves and decision curve analysis. A total of 416 patients were analyzed, with 84 exhibiting preoperative frailty and 39 experiencing postoperative pulmonary infections. Preoperative frailty, CONUT score, age, and a history of combined chemoradiotherapy were identified as independent risk factors for postoperative pulmonary infections. The combined assessment of preoperative frailty and CONUT score demonstrated strong predictive value, with an area under the curve of 0.777 (95% confidence interval: 0.700-0.854). The combination of preoperative frailty and the CONUT score is an effective tool for predicting postoperative pulmonary infections in breast cancer patients.
