Role of Mean Platelet Volume in the Prognosis of Locally Advanced Gastric Cancer: A Tertiary Cancer Center Experience.
Article in Cureus, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Introduction Mean platelet volume (MPV) is an inflammatory marker suggesting the activation of platelets. Many studies observed an association between MPV and cancer spread and metastasis. Hence, we have conducted a retrospective study to find the role of MPV as a prognostic marker in locally advanced gastric cancer. Materials and methods The present study included a retrospective review of 149 patients with gastric cancer who had neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by surgery. MPV was obtained and then statistically analyzed to find an association between tumor (T), node (N), and overall stage as per the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system, using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY). Results In our study, we observed that MPV values were significantly high in N+ disease (OR 3.794 (95% CI 1.903 - 7.563); p-value 0.0001), higher T stage (OR for >T2 3.692 (95% CI 1.876 - 7.266); p-value 0.0001), and advanced stage (OR 7.708 (95% CI 3.258 - 18.237); p-value 0.0001) of gastric cancer. Conclusions MPV is an inflammatory marker that correlates with nodal disease and aids in the staging and prognostication of locally advanced gastric cancer. This inexpensive, convenient marker can aid in the risk stratification of locally advanced gastric cancer.
