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 prevalent in women with cervical cancer and may be associated with postoperative infectious complications following radical hysterectomy. Evidence specifically evaluating structured multimodal perioperative nutritional/ERAS care in this population remains limited. Methods: We conducted a single-center retrospective nonconcurrent cohort study of 268 patients who underwent radical hysterectomy for cervical cancer (FIGO stages IA-IIB) between January 2020 and December 2024. Patients who received a structured multimodal perioperative nutritional/ERAS care pathway (NSG, Results: Baseline characteristics were similar in magnitude for measured variables; however, nonsignificant baseline tests were not interpreted as evidence of equivalence or successful matching. The 30-day infectious complication rate was lower in the NSG than in the CG (18.7% vs. 33.6%; unadjusted RR 0.56, 95% CI 0.36-0.85; Conclusion: Receipt of the structured multimodal perioperative nutritional/ERAS care pathway was associated with lower observed odds of 30-day infectious complications and shorter hospitalization. Because the study used a retrospective nonconcurrent comparison and the intervention was bundled, these findings should not be interpreted as proof that nutritional support alone caused the observed differences. Prospective comparative studies are warranted.
