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 carcinomas (DSC) constitute a significant proportion of solid tumors, with incidence rates rising steadily each year. The systemic inflammation response index (SIRI) has been identified as a potential prognostic marker for survival in various types DSC. This meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the prognostic value of SIRI in patients with DSC.

methodsWe conducted a comprehensive literature search of PubMed, Web of Science Core Collection, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases, searching for studies published from inception to May 30, 2023. Eligible studies included cohort studies that assessed the association between pre-treatment SIRI levels and DSC prognosis. We extracted and synthesized hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) using STATA/SE 12.0, stratifying HRs based on univariable and multivariable analysis. Due to substantial heterogeneity, we applied a random-effect model for all pooled analyses. The primary outcome of interest was the overall survival (OS), while secondary outcomes included progression-free survival (PFS), disease-free survival (DFS), time to progression (TTP), and disease specific survival (DSS). Publication bias was evaluated using Begg's test and Egger's tests.

resultsA total of 34 cohort studies encompassing 9628 participants were included in this meta-analysis. Notable heterogeneity was observedin the OS (I

conclusionsElevated SIRI is associated with poorer clinical outcomes in patients with DSC. This index may serve as a valuable prognostic biomarker, offering a promising tool for predicting survival in DSC patients. PROSPERO: REGISTRATION NUMBER: CRD42023430962.
