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

backgroundThe prognostic role of preoperative inflammation-nutrition-related markers in locally advanced lip squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) remains underexplored. This study aimed to assess the impact of various preoperative inflammation-nutrition-related markers on the prognosis of patients with locally advanced LSCC undergoing surgical treatment and to establish a corresponding predictive model.

methodsA retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical data of 169 patients with locally advanced LSCC who underwent surgical treatment. A total of 27 clinicopathological variables, including inflammation-nutrition-related markers, were collected. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses were used to identify independent prognostic factors for disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS). The nomogram models were validated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis, calibration plots, and decision curve analysis (DCA). Risk stratification was performed based on the nomogram scores, and differences between risk subgroups were explored.

resultsThe extranodal extension (ENE), surgical safety margin, Glasgow prognostic score (GPS), Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI), Controlling Nutrition score (CONUT), American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) stage, and adjuvant radiotherapy were independent prognostic factors for DFS. In contrast, ENE, surgical safety margin, GNRI, CONUT, AJCC stage, and adjuvant radiotherapy were also independent prognostic factors for OS. The nomograms demonstrated better predictive performance than the AJCC staging system. Based on the nomogram model, patients were stratified into low-, medium-, and high-risk subgroups, which exhibited significant differences in survival outcomes.

conclusionGPS, GNRI, and CONUT are independent factors affecting the prognosis of patients with locally advanced LSCC undergoing radical surgery. By combining GPS, GNRI, and COUNT with other independent clinicopathological prognostic factors, a reliable nomogram model can be established to accurately predict patients' DFS and OS. This provides a powerful tool for individualized prognostic assessment, optimized risk stratification, and treatment decision-making.
