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

Background: Perioperative inflammatory indices reflect systemic inflammatory responses and have been linked to cancer progression and prognosis. This study aims to explore the differences in perioperative inflammatory indices between lung squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) and adenocarcinoma (LUAD) and their association with long-term outcomes. Methods: This study included 287 lung cancer patients who underwent curative resection between June 2016 and December 2017, comprising 61 cases of LSCC and 226 cases of LUAD. Perioperative baseline information and inflammatory cell counts were collected. Patients were followed up for a median duration of 76 months, during which disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) were recorded. Cox regression analysis was used to evaluate the prognostic significance of inflammatory factor levels. Results: Significant differences were observed in white blood cell count and systemic inflammation response index (SIRI) between LSCC and LUAD (P < 0.05). Regression analysis identified age (OR=2.096, P=0.004), postoperative day 1 D-dimer level (OR=1.550, P<0.001), and Platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) (OR=1.901, P=0.031) as independent risk factors for perioperative venous thromboembolism (VTE). Furthermore, open surgical approach (HR=2.437, P=0.016), tumor type (LSCC; HR=2.437, P=0.016), and PLR (HR=1.534, P=0.019) were independent risk factors for DFS. Conclusion: Inflammatory index is key predictors of perioperative VTE and DFS in lung cancer, emphasizing their critical role in prognosis.
