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

backgroundPulmonary neuroendocrine tumors (PNETs) are a special subtype of lung cancer with treatment methods are limited and prognostic indicators are insufficient. The preoperative systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) and prognostic nutritional index (PNI) are effective tumor biomarkers that have important significance for the prognosis of many malignant tumors. However, there is no similar research on the predictive value of SII and PNI for operable PNETs. Our study aimed to clarify the predictive value of SII and PNI in PNETs patients after surgical resection.

methodsThis study retrospectively analysed the relevant clinical data of PNETs patients who received surgical treatment from 2005 to 2015, which was obtained from patient's clinical records, blood test results recorded on admission before surgical treatment, and follow-up by hospital records.

resultsA total of 381 PNETs patients were enrolled in this study. Preoperative PNI was associated with age (P=0.001), T stage (P=0.001), tumor length (P=0.002), drinking status (P=0.013) and smoking status (P=0.049), while SII was significantly associated with T stage (P=0.001), tumor length (P=0.001) and TNM stage (P=0.001). There was significant difference between high SII and low PNI and worse OS of PENTs (P=0.001 and P<0.001). SII (P=0.002), neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) (P<0.001), platelet/lymphocyte ratio (PLR) (P=0.001), lymph node metastasis (P<0.001), operation time (P=0.034<0.05), treatment (P<0.001) and PNI (P=0.044<0.05) were independent prognostic factors for PNETs identified by multivariate Cox regression analysis.

conclusionsHigh SII and low PNI indicated poor prognosis of patients with PNETs. Both of SII and PNI can predict the prognosis of PNETs and stratify patients for better treatment.
