Comparison of prognostic factors in different age groups and prognostic significance of neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio in patients with gastric cancer.
Article in World journal of gastrointestinal oncology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
backgroundGastric cancer (GC) is one of the most common malignant tumors in the world. Although in recent years tremendous progress has been made in its early detection, the postoperative overall survival (OS) of GC patients remains extremely low. A number of studies have shown that age, to varying degrees, affects the prognosis of patients with GC. Therefore, this study retrospectively analyzed the clinical and pathologic data of patients with GC to explore the differences in the clinical characteristics and prognostic factors in different age groups.
aimTo explore the difference in clinicopathological characteristics and prognostic factors in GC patients in different age groups.
methodsIn this retrospective study, we analyzed 1037 GC patients admitted to Renji Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine from May 2010 to January 2013. The patients were divided into two groups based on age: Younger group (less than 70 years old) and older group (no less than 70 years old). In the younger group, we subdivided the patients in two subgroups by a cut-off value of 45 years. The clinical features and prognostic factors were analyzed in both groups. Subsequently, we retrieved studies that evaluated the predictive role of neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) by searching two medical databases, PubMed and EMBASE, to conduct a meta-analysis. Random-effects model was used to pool the data.
resultsIn the retrospective study, the mean OS time of the younger group (64.7 mo) was significantly longer than that of the older group (48.1 mo) (
conclusionThe OS of elderly patients is significantly worse than that of younger patients. There are significant differences in clinicopathological characteristics and prognostic factors between younger and older patients. NLR is a convenient, inexpensive, and reproducible marker that can be used as an important predictor of the prognosis of GC.
