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
backgroundVarious nutritional assessment scores have been validated and accepted as predictors of postoperative outcomes in elective surgery. The objective of this study was to assess prospectively the predictive value of three of these scores (the CONUT score, the PNI, and the NRI) for short term outcomes following emergency abdominal surgery. PATIENTS AND
methodsThis is a prospective cohort study that was conducted over a period of 13 months. It was approved by the local ethical committee and included 150 patients who underwent emergency major abdominal surgeries and agreed to participate in the study. All patients included were clinically assessed and underwent laboratory and radiological investigations based on their presentation. Data required to calculate the three nutritional indices were collected. Patients underwent their specific surgery and received postoperative care in either the surgical ICU or surgical ward according to standard protocols based on the type of surgery.
resultsMales comprised 64.70% of the study populations with a mean age of 48.48 ± 15.80 years and a mean BMI of 29.55 ± 4.99 kg/m2. The preoperative diagnosis was peritonitis due to various etiologies in 50.7% of patients, while 21.3% were diagnosed with intestinal obstruction. According to the CONUT score, the preoperative nutritional status was normal in 43.3% of patients. mild malnutrition in 46%, moderate malnutrition in 10.7%, and no patients with severe malnutrition. The PNI values ranged from 32.4 to 59.5 with a mean of 46.76 ± 6.55 while the NRI values ranged from 33.8 to 49.9 with a mean of 46.94 ± 1.90. The NRI had the highest diagnostic accuracy at 73%, followed by the CONUT score at 68%, and lastly the PNI at 66%.
conclusionThe three nutritional assessment scores were significant predictors of postoperative complications in emergency abdominal surgery, with the NRI showing the highest diagnostic accuracy.
