Preoperative Immune Prognostic Index Can Predict the Clinical Outcomes of Patients with Gallbladder Cancer: Single-Center Experience.
Article in Cancer management and research, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
purposeThe immune prognostic index (IPI) has been used as a prognostic biomarker in various cancers. However, the prognostic value of the IPI in gallbladder cancer remains to be determined. PATIENTS AND
methodsThis study included 139 patients who were diagnosed with gallbladder cancer after surgical resection from 2003 to 2017. We used a Kaplan-Meier curve analysis to evaluate the overall survival (OS). Cox proportional hazards regression methodology was used to identify significant independent prognostic factors. Prognostic nomograms for predicting OS were established to achieve superior discriminatory abilities. The prognostic nomograms were verified according to the concordance index, calibration curves, and decision curve analyses in the training cohort and validation cohort.
resultsOf all 139 patients, 87 (62.6%) patients accepted R0 resection, 32% and 68% were stratified into the good and poor IPI group, respectively. The median OS was 55.9 (range, 5.93-182.7) months in the good IPI group and 15.47 (range, 0.29-190.37) months in the poor IPI group (P < 0.001). In the multivariate Cox model, the IPI was an independent predictor of OS along with the CA19-9, curative resection, and postoperative chemoradiotherapy. A nomogram based on these factors was efficient in predicting 1-, 3-, and 5-year survival probabilities. The nomogram showed higher sensitivity and specificity than the current cancer TNM staging system in the training cohort and validation cohort.
conclusionThe IPI is an independent prognostic factor in gallbladder cancer. Our IPI-based nomogram can serve as a useful and convenient prognostic tool for gallbladder cancer.
