Malnutrition determined by the controlling nutritional status score, prognostic nutritional index and hemoglobin-albumin-lymphocyte-platelet score is associated with prolonged hospital stay in liver cancer patients who underwent interventional treatment.

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: The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between the nutritional status evaluated by the Controlling Nutritional Status (CONUT) score, Prognostic Nutritional Index (PNI) and hemoglobin-albumin-lymphocyte-platelet (HALP) score, and the prolonged hospital stay in liver cancer patients who underwent interventional treatment, in order to provide a reference for clinical optimization of the prognosis of liver cancer patients undergoing interventional treatment through nutritional assessment. Methods: 466 liver cancer patients who underwent interventional treatment were retrospectively analyzed. Medical records (age, gender, history of smoking, history of alcohol drinking, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, viral hepatitis, and laboratory test results) were collected. The threshold for prolonged hospital stay was defined based on the third quartile (75th percentile) of length of hospital stay. The relationship between CONUT, PNI, and HALP and prolonged hospital stay was analyzed. Results: The mean hospital stay of patients was 11.0 (8.0, 14.0) days. There were 337 (72.3%) patients without prolonged hospital stay (<14.0 days) and 129 (27.7%) patients with prolonged hospital stay (≥14.0 days). The proportion of moderate and severe grade malnutrition determined by CONUT score in patients with prolonged hospital stay was higher than patients without prolonged hospital stay ( Conclusions: Malnutrition defined by the CONUT, PNI, and HALP scores was significantly associated with the prolonged hospital stay in liver cancer patients who underwent interventional treatment.
