1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundColorectal cancer (CRC) is a globally prevalent gastrointestinal malignant cancer, especially in elderly patients. Currently, surgery resection remains the primary treatment due to its favorable therapeutic outcomes. However, postoperative deterioration in nutritional status and quality of life (QoL) remains a concern. The geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI), which is calculated based on serum albumin levels and the ratio of normal body weight to ideal body weight, is easily accessible and accurate, making it increasingly popular in clinical practice.

aimTo investigate the impact of GNRI-guided tiered nutritional interventions on postoperative nutritional recovery and QoL in elderly CRC patients.

methodsA retrospective analysis was conducted on 135 elderly CRC patients undergoing radical resection at our hospital from September 2022 to December 2024. Participants were divided into two cohorts: The research group (

resultsThe research group showed significantly faster postoperative passage of gas by anus, fewer instances of fever, reduced fever duration, shorter hospitalization duration, and lower costs compared with the control group (

conclusionGNRI-based graded nutritional intervention in elderly CRC patients can significantly improve postoperative recovery, enhance their nutritional status and QoL, promote immune function recovery, attenuate inflammation, and lower the incidence of postoperative complications. This protocol represents a clinically viable strategy for optimizing postoperative care.
