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

Purpose: The combined systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) and prognostic nutritional index (PNI) (SII-PNI score) serves as a prognostic predictor in various malignancies. This study evaluates the prognostic value of the SII-PNI score in patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (uHCC) treated with transcatheter arterial chemoembolization combined with lenvatinib and PD-1 inhibitors (triple therapy). Patients and Methods: This retrospective multicenter study included patients with uHCC treated with triple therapy from eight hospitals. The optimal cut-off values for SII and PNI were determined using X-tile. The SII-PNI score was categorized as follows: score of 0, low SII (≤cut-off value) and high PNI (>cut-off value); score of 1, either high SII-high PNI or low SII-low PNI; score of 2, high SII and low PNI. Survival curves were estimated and compared using the Kaplan-Meier method with the Log rank test. Results: A total of 290 patients were included. The optimal cut-off values were 525.9 for SII and 44.0 for PNI. Patients were classified as SII-PNI score of 0 (n = 105), score of 1 (n = 124), and score of 2 (n = 61). Lower SII-PNI score was associated with better median overall survival (score of 0: not reached vs score of 1: 28.0 months vs score of 2: 19.7 months; Conclusion: The SII-PNI score is associated with survival and tumor response in patients with uHCC treated with triple therapy. This score aids in optimizing clinical decision-making for uHCC.
