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 Systemic inflammatory response and nutritional status are important to the prognosis of patients with colorectal cancer (CRC). This study aimed to investigate the prognostic value of the combination of preoperative hemoglobin, lymphocyte, albumin, and neutrophil (HLAN) in patients with locally advanced CRC (LACRC). MATERIAL AND METHODS We performed a retrospective analysis in 536 LACRC patients undergoing radical surgery. The value of HLAN was defined as follow: HLAN=Hemoglobin (g/L)×Lymphocyte (/L)×Albumin (g/L)/Neutrophil (/L)/100. The X-tile program was used to determine the optimal cut-point of HLAN, and the prognostic value of HLAN for overall survival (OS) was evaluated with the Cox proportional hazard model. RESULTS The cut-point of HLAN was set at 19.5. Compared with the high-HLAN group, the low-HLAN group had a 1.50-fold (95% confidence interval 1.09-2.05) increased risk of death and a significantly lower OS rate (P<0.001). Furthermore, the risk stratification model based on HLAN (AUC=0.72) displayed better accuracy in OS prediction than the TNM system (AUC=0.61). CONCLUSIONS HLAN is a valuable prognostic marker for patients with LACRC.
