1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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: Malnutrition is associated with adverse surgical and oncologic outcomes. This work aims to evaluate the prevalence of malnutrition and vitamin deficiency, as well as completion of preoperative evaluation of nutritional status, in patients with ovarian cancer. Methods: A retrospective single-institution cohort study of patients undergoing surgery for newly diagnosed ovarian cancer between January 1, 2018 and July 1, 2024 was performed. Malnutrition was defined as: albumin ≤3.0 g/dL, prealbumin ≤18 mg/dL or Malnutrition Screening Tool (MST) ≥2. Vitamin deficiencies and insufficiencies were defined in accordance with our high-risk surgical encounter clinic guidelines. Evaluation of nutrition status was defined as the documentation of MST, albumin, prealbumin or vitamin levels within 90 days of surgery. Results: 235 patients met inclusion criteria, with median age 61 and body mass index 27 kg/m Conclusion: Malnutrition and vitamin abnormalities are common among patients with ovarian cancer. Comprehensive and standardized preoperative evaluation of nutritional status and vitamin deficiency is recommended.
