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

objectiveTo investigate the association between preoperative nutritional indicators and survival outcomes in patients with upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) undergoing radical nephroureterectomy (RNU), and to compare the predictive performance of different nutritional scoring systems.

methodsA retrospective analysis was conducted on UTUC patients who underwent RNU. Nutritional scores [geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI), prognostic nutritional index (PNI), controlling nutritional status (CONUT), triglycerides-total cholesterol-body weight index (TCBI)] were calculated. Variables with

resultsA total of 481 UTUC patients were included. Multivariable analysis identified pathological T3/T4 stage, N1/N2 stage, high World Health Organization/International Society of Urological Pathology (WHO/ISUP) grade, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), blood transfusion, ureteral management, GNRI, and PNI as independent predictors of overall survival (OS) (

conclusionPreoperative GNRI and PNI are independently associated with OS and CSS in patients with UTUC after RNU, demonstrating stable predictive performance across different follow-up periods.
