Postoperative Prognostic Nutritional Index as a Useful Prognostic Factor in Patients With Gastric 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
Aim: To verify whether postoperative prognostic nutritional index is a useful prognostic factor in patients with gastric cancer. Methods: This study included 1738 consecutive patients with gastric cancer who underwent radical gastrectomy at our institution from January 2004 to December 2018. The sensitivity and specificity of white blood cell, neutrophil, lymphocyte, monocyte, and platelet counts, C-reactive protein, hemoglobin, and albumin levels, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio, C-reactive protein-to-albumin ratio, platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio, and prognostic nutritional index on postoperative Days 1 and 3 in predicting recurrence were evaluated using receiver operating characteristic curves. Recurrence-free survival and overall survival were compared between the normal and high fibrinogen groups. Results: After applying the inclusion criteria, 1635 eligible patients were included in the analysis. The prognostic nutritional index on postoperative Day 1 attained the highest area under the curve (0.699). Overall survival and recurrence-free survival in the low prognostic nutritional index on postoperative Day 1 group were significantly poorer than those in the high prognostic nutritional index on postoperative Day 1 group (log-rank test, both Conclusion: Postoperative prognostic nutritional index was a useful prognostic factor in patients with gastric cancer.
