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

Purpose: This study assessed lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (LMR) changes to predict postoperative recurrence in Fusobacterium nucleatum-positive (Fn-positive) CRC patients. Patients and Methods: Clinical information and paraffin tissue specimens were collected from a retrospective cohort of 332 patients. The abundance of Fn in tumor tissue was measured using a quantitative polymerase chain reaction. We evaluated the prognostic value and diagnostic performance of the dynamic changes of LMR from pre-operative to post-treatment (pr-LMR-po) and the dynamic alterations of LMR from pre-operative to post-treatment to pre-end of follow-up (pr-LMR-f) in predicting recurrence in Fn-positive CRC. Results: In the total cohort and adjuvant therapy group cohort, pr-LMR-po independently predicted recurrence-free survival in Fn-positive CRC patients. In the adjuvant therapy group, pr-LMR-po (High-High vs Low-Low: HR: 3.896, 95% CI: 1.503-10.095, p=0.005) was particularly significant. Meanwhile, pr-LMR-f can serve as a predictive biomarker for Fn-positive CRC recurrence, especially in the adjuvant therapy group cohort where the c-statistic for pr-LMR-f was 0.825 (95% CI: 0.804-0.8251), with a sensitivity of 83.6% and a specificity of 79.3%. Compared to the overall adjuvant therapy group cohort, the prognostic performance of pr-LMR-f was superior in the Fn-positive CRC adjuvant therapy group cohort (AUC: 0.825 VS 0.711). Finally, we constructed a prediction model combining pr-LMR-f and CEA. After internal validation using the bootstrap resampling, the model had an AUC of 0.9295, a sensitivity of 94%, and a specificity of 72.7% in the Fn-positive CRC adjuvant therapy group cohort. Conclusion: This study found that pr-LMR-po predicts Fn-positive CRC prognosis, and pr-LMR-f may predict Fn-positive CRC recurrence.
