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

backgroundDigestive system cancers pose a significant global health challenge with high incidence and mortality rates. Inflammation is a key factor in cancer progression, necessitating reliable prognostic indicators. The pan-immune-inflammation value (PIV), as a new biomarker of immune-inflammatory response, has emerged as a potential prognostic biomarker for cancers.

methodsWe performed a meta-analysis to evaluate the prognostic significance of PIV in digestive system cancers. Our search, up to June 2024, included 20 studies from 19 articles with 5037 patients. We extracted and analyzed data on PIV levels and assessed hazard ratios (HRs) for overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), disease-free survival (DFS), recurrence-free survival (RFS), and cancer-specific survival (CSS) using STATA 14.0.

resultsOur analysis found that high PIV levels were significantly associated with poor prognosis in patients with digestive system cancers. Specifically, high PIV was linked to shorter OS (HR = 2.039, P < 0.001), PFS (HR = 1.877, P = 0.028), DFS (HR = 1.624, P = 0.005), RFS (HR = 2.393, P = 0.037), and CSS (HR = 2.053, P < 0.001). Additionally, the adverse prognostic impact of high PIV on OS was consistent across different cancer types, including digestive tract, colorectal, esophageal, and hepatobiliary pancreatic cancers. Although some heterogeneity was observed, sensitivity and bias analyses confirmed the reliability of these findings.

conclusionsPIV was a valuable and practical prognostic marker for digestive system cancers, providing significant predictive value across multiple survival metrics. Its simplicity and minimal invasiveness nature support its potential integration into routine clinical practice.
