Correlation between preoperative nutritional status and postoperative clinical outcomes in patients undergoing artificial hip and knee replacement.
Article in American journal of translational research, 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
objectiveTo investigate the effect of prognostic nutritional index (PNI) on the clinical outcome of patients undergoing total hip/knee arthroplasty (THA/TKA), and to construct a nomogram prediction model.
methodA retrospective analysis was performed on 504 patients who underwent THA/TKA at The Third Affiliated Hospital of Chengdu Medical College, Pidu District People's Hospital from January 2020 to January 2025. Among them, 379 patients treated between January 2020 and January 2024 were used for model construction and internal validation, and 125 patients treated from February 2024 to January 2025 were used for external validation. Univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analyses were used to identify the independent risk factors for the clinical outcomes of patients, based on which a nomogram prediction model was established.
resultA total of 71 patients (14.09%) experienced adverse clinical outcomes. Multivariate analysis showed that T2DM and disease duration ≥ 10 years were independent risk factors for poor outcomes in THA/TKA patients (all P < 0.05). Higher WOMAC scores were associated with increased risk of adverse outcomes, while higher PNI levels were associated with reduced risk (both P < 0.05). Internal validation demonstrated good discrimination and calibration of the nomogram. In external validation, the sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of the prediction model were 96.36% (106/110), 66.67% (10/15), and 92.80% (116/125), respectively.
conclusionA low preoperative PNI level may increase the risk of poor outcomes in THA/TKA patients. The nomogram model incorporating PNI, T2DM, disease duration, and WOMAC score provides good reference for clinical assessment of postoperative risk.
