Prognostic and clinicopathological effect of the prognostic nutritional index (PNI) in patients with cervical cancer: a meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Annals of medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 papers, 3 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
backgroundNumerous studies have explored whether the prognostic nutritional index (PNI) can predict the prognosis of cervical cancer (CC); however, their findings remain controversial. This meta-analysis focused on evaluating the relationship between the PNI and the prognosis of patients with CC.
methodsRelevant articles were collected from specific databases up to March 16, 2023. The relationship between the PNI and survival outcomes in patients with CC was estimated using combined hazard ratios (HRs) and associated 95% confidence intervals (CIs). The association of the PNI with clinicopathological features in patients with CC was assessed by combining odds ratios (ORs) and associated 95% CIs.
resultsNine articles with 2508 cases were included in the meta-analysis. According to our pooled findings, a decreased PNI showed a significant association with worse overall survival (OS) (HR = 2.98, 95% CI = 2.22-3.99,
conclusionIn this study, a low PNI predicted dismal OS and PFS in patients with CC, who also tend to suffer from LN metastasis and larger tumor size. PNI is a promising biomarker for predicting the prognosis of patients with CC in clinical practice.
