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: Elevated inflammatory markers are commonly linked to poor prognoses in cancer patients, while optimal nutritional status correlates with improved survival outcomes. This study aimed to explore the interplay between nutritional and inflammatory markers and their impact on postoperative outcomes in ovarian cancer patients through a retrospective analysis. Methods: Data were retrospectively retrieved from patients diagnosed with ovarian cancer who required surgical intervention at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology. Overall survival (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS) were monitored during follow-up. Kaplan-Meier survival curves were employed to assess OS and CSS across different patient cohorts, evaluating the prognostic significance of nutritional and inflammatory markers. Nomograms for predicting OS and CSS at one, three, and five years postoperatively were constructed, followed by external validation. Results: The prognostic nutritional index (PNI) and Naples prognostic score (NPS) exhibited a significant correlation with OS and CSS in postoperative ovarian cancer patients ( Conclusions: The nutritional inflammatory index serves as a key independent prognostic marker for OS and CSS in ovarian cancer patients. Nomograms based on PNI and NPS provide valuable prognostic insights for postoperative management. Incorporating these indices into clinical practice could improve patient stratification and guide personalized treatment plans.
