Systemic Immune-Inflammation Index Is Superior to Neutrophil to Lymphocyte Ratio in Prognostic Assessment of Breast Cancer Patients Undergoing Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy.
Article in BioMed research international, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05468710 (The Prognostic and Predictive Role of Inflammatory Blood Markers in Early and Locally Advanced Breast Cancer Patients Receiving Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy), which is not on this map. Cited by 34 papers, 8 of them syntheses 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.

Abstract
resultsSII, NLR, and PLR did not define patient groups with distinct clinicopathological characteristics. SII, NLR, and PLR cut-off values were 547, 2.13, and 88.23, as determined by ROC analysis; the corresponding areas under the curve (AUCs) were 0.625, 0.555, and 0.571, respectively. Cox regression models identified SII as independently associated with OS. Patients with low SII had prolonged OS (65 vs. 41 months,
conclusionOur study suggests that the pretreatment SII value is significantly correlated with OS in breast cancer patients undergoing NAC and that the prognostic utility of SII is superior to that of NLR and PLR.
