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

introductionPerioperative inflammatory markers, including the neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), are associated with oncological prognosis. However, their changes in colorectal cancer surgery for predicting the prognosis are rarely investigated.

aimTo compare perioperative changes to evaluate the prognostic significance of patients' survival. MATERIAL AND

methodsRetrospective clinical data and baseline laboratory parameters of 183 colorectal cancer (CRC) patients who underwent curative surgery were collected between January 2007 and January 2013. The clinicopathological characteristics were compared. Statistical analysis was used to identify the predictive changes of perioperative NLR and PLR associated with survival prognosis.

resultsROC analysis indicated that perioperative NLR/PLR showed higher predictive accuracy for prognosis, and the optimal cut-off values of pre-NLR, post-NLR, pre-PLR, and post-PLR were 2.94, 4.32, 184.29, and 212.37, respectively. Kaplan-Meier analysis suggested that the four groups stratified by perioperative changes had significantly different recurrence-free survival and overall survival (

conclusionsPerioperative NLR and PLR might be good predictors for prognosis in CRC patients who have undergone curative surgery, which could guide the customised therapeutic strategy. Furthermore, their assessment could contribute to accurately predicting oncologic outcomes and provide an in-depth understanding of the patients, which could guide the operational strategy.
