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

Malnutrition remains a significant yet underrecognized predictor of poor postoperative outcomes in colorectal surgery. This retrospective study analyzed the association between preoperative nutritional status and postoperative recovery in 132 patients undergoing colorectal procedures. Malnourished individuals demonstrated higher rates of surgical site infections, prolonged hospitalization and delayed wound healing compared with well-nourished patients. Nutritional screening identified 38% of patients at moderate to high risk preoperatively and mortality was notably greater in this group. These findings underscore the importance of optimizing nutritional status before surgery to improve outcomes and reduce postoperative complications.
