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

Objective: The geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI) has found utility as a predictor of outcomes in several malignancies. However, does it predicts outcomes in hepatocellular cancer (HCC) is unclear. In this review, we present high-quality evidence on the prognostic ability of GNRI for HCC. Methods: Two reviewers screened the websites of Embase, PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus up to 20 Results: Total 13 studies were included. Meta-analysis of 11 studies showed that low GNRI was significantly associated with poor OS (HR: 1.83 95% CI: 1.47, 2.29 I Conclusions: The GNRI can predict OS and PFS in HCC patients. Given its availability and ease of calculation, the tool can be incorporated into clinical practice to rapidly predict the prognosis of HCC patients.
