The Predictive Role of Albumin and Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio Score on Postoperative Outcomes and Survival in Older Patients With Colorectal Cancer.

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
IntroductionColorectal cancer (CRC) is common among older patients, who face an increased risk of postoperative complications from malnutrition and systemic inflammation. The serum Albumin-Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio Score (ANS), indicative of nutritional and inflammatory status, is a potential predictive tool in various cancers. This study evaluated the predictive value of preoperative ANS for postoperative survival and complications in older CRC patients.MethodsWe retrospectively analyzed 182 patients aged 65 and over who underwent curative-intent CRC surgery between 2018 and 2020 at a Taiwanese medical center. Based on pretreatment-ANS, patients were categorized into three groups: ANS 0, high albumin and low neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR); ANS 1, low albumin or high NLR; and ANS 2, low albumin and high NLR. Overall survival (OS), length of hospital stay (LOS), postoperative complications, and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) were analyzed and compared across groups.ResultsPatients in the ANS 2 group exhibited significantly poorer OS, with an adjusted hazard ratio of 2.90 (95% confidence interval [CI]:1.15-7.30,
