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: The advanced Lung Cancer Inflammation Index (ALI) is a novel composite marker integrating nutritional, metabolic, and inflammatory status. This study aimed to investigate the prognostic significance of admission ALI for long-term mortality in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and concomitant diabetes. Methods: A total of 571 diabetic AMI patients were retrospectively enrolled from the NOAFCAMI-SH registry. Patients were stratified into ALI tertiles (T1-T3). The primary and secondary outcomes were all-cause and cardiovascular mortality, respectively, evaluated over a median follow-up of 2.5 years. Associations were assessed using Kaplan-Meier survival curves, Cox proportional hazards regression, and restricted cubic spline (RCS) models. Results: Compared to the lowest tertile (T1), patients in the highest tertile (T3) exhibited markedly lower rates of all-cause (7.9% vs. 27.8%) and cardiovascular mortality (7.4% vs. 23.6%). In fully adjusted Cox models, higher ALI (T3 vs. T1) was independently associated with a 67% reduction in the risk of all-cause mortality (HR = 0.33, 95% CI: 0.18-0.61, P < 0.001) and a similar significant decrease in cardiovascular mortality. RCS analysis revealed a significant non-linear, L-shaped relationship between continuous ALI and both mortality outcomes (both P for non-linearity < 0.05), with mortality risk rising precipitously below a specific threshold. Furthermore, adding ALI to the established GRACE score modestly improved individual-level risk reclassification and discrimination for all-cause mortality (continuous NRI: 0.228, P = 0.047; IDI: 0.027, P = 0.020). Conclusion: A lower admission ALI independently associated with long-term all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in diabetic AMI patients.As a readily accessible composite biomarker, ALI offers valuable prognostic information that could assist in the early risk stratification of this high-risk population.
