Clinical risk factors associated with postoperative malnutrition in patients with laryngeal cancer: A retrospective study.
Article in Medicine, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Postoperative malnutrition is a frequent yet variably defined complication after laryngeal cancer surgery and may compromise functional rehabilitation and subsequent oncologic management. This retrospective cohort study consecutively included adult patients (≥ 18 years) with histopathologically confirmed primary laryngeal cancer who underwent curative-intent surgery at our institution between July 1, 2021 and July 31, 2025. The primary endpoint was postoperative malnutrition within 3 months, diagnosed using the Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition criteria. Among 215 eligible patients, 56 developed postoperative malnutrition, yielding an incidence of 26.0% (56/215; 95% confidence interval, 20.6-32.3%). The median time to first Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition-defined malnutrition was 24 days (interquartile range, 14-41), with 60.7% of events occurring within 30 days postoperatively. Patients who developed malnutrition were older and had lower preoperative body mass index and less favorable tumor and functional profiles, including higher rates of advanced tumor-node-metastasis stage and preoperative dysphagia. Univariable and multivariable logistic regression identified independent associations with postoperative malnutrition, including lower body mass index and serum albumin, higher C-reactive protein, advanced tumor-node-metastasis stage, preoperative dysphagia, total laryngectomy, and longer operative duration. These findings support risk-stratified perioperative nutritional surveillance and early multidisciplinary interventions in laryngeal cancer surgery.
