Prognostic value of the combined effect of nutritional status and body water component in patients with colorectal cancer.
Article in Scientific reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
The aim of this study was to explore the impact of Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI) and body water component (BWC) on the survival of colorectal cancer (CRC) patients and whether the combined effect had a potential prognostic and predictive efficacy. We evaluated the accuracy of GNRI for malnutrition and estimated the predictive capacity of BWC for survival. Kaplan-Meier survival curves and cox regression analyses were used to examine the prognostic effects. A nutrition-water score (NWS) model was developed and evaluated the survival predictive power. GNRI and extracellular water-to-intracellular water ratio (ECW/ICW) were integrated, with the cut-off values of 103.5 and 63.7%. Lower GNRI and higher ECW/ICW were independent risk factors for poor prognosis in CRC patients. The combination of the two into the NWS model demonstrated a higher risk of death for patients with NWS ≥ 1 compared to those with NWS of 0. NWS showed a better predictive capability compared to GNRI and ECW/ICW, with the concordance index of 0.681. Our study demonstrates GNRI and ECW/ICW's prognostic utility in CRC, with their combination improving survival prediction to help guide patient-centered treatment.
