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: Inflammation and nutrition status were the essential factors for cancer initiation and progression. Previous studies have confirmed systemic immune-inflammatory index (SII) and prognostic nutritional index (PNI) could predict the prognosis of cancer patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate the pre-treatment SII and PNI in predicting outcomes in different cancers. Methods: The retrospective study included 508 cancer cases diagnosed between June 2013 and June 2022. The pre-treatment SII and PNI were calculated from peripheral blood samples, and the cutoff value was determined by receiver operating characteristic (ROC). The association of SII, PNI with clinicopathological characters and prognosis were assessed by Cox regression and Kaplan-Meier methods. Results: The ideal preoperative SII and PNI cutoff values were 792.0 and 49.825, respectively. High SII group as well as low PNI group had worse prognosis. Patients satisfied both high SII and low PNI had the lowest overall survival (OS) rate ( Conclusion: High level of pretreatment SII may be an independent prognostic factor for cancer patients. Patients with both high SII and low PNI had the worst prognosis.
