Prognostic value of prognostic nutritional index in patients undergoing surgery for gastric cancer.
Article in Frontiers in surgery, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 and aim: Gastric cancer is among the commonly occurring cancers worldwide and is one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths. Malnutrition is an important factor affecting the course of disease and treatment response in gastric cancer patients this study aimed to investigate the effect of the Prognostic Nutritional Index (PNI) on postoperative complications and long-term survival in gastric cancer patients, and to comparatively examine PNI values among different histological subtypes. Methods: Data from patients who underwent curative surgical resection for gastric cancer between 2014 and 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. PNI values were calculated using the formula: 10 × serum albumin (g/dl) + 0.005 × lymphocyte count (cells/mm Results: A total of 220 patients (161 males, 59 females; mean age: 60.63 ± 10.56) were included in the study. The mean PNI value was 47.15 ± 6.07. ROC analysis established an optimal PNI cut-off value of 46.2 (AUC = 0.673, 95% CI: 0.599-0.747, p<0.001; sensitivity 78.8%, specificity 51.9%). Complication rates were significantly higher in the patient group with PNI < 46.2 (
