Prognostic Importance of the Preoperative Naples Prognostic Score for Patients With Adenocarcinoma of the Esophagogastric Junction.

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
backgroundThe naples prognostic score (NPS) is established according to nutritional or inflammatory state, and it is identified as the new prognostic score for a variety of malignant tumors. However, its significance in cases suffering from adenocarcinoma of esophagogastric junction (AEJ) who receive surgery remains unclear so far.
methodsIn this study, patients receiving surgery without preoperative therapy were examined between June 2007 and August 2017 in a retrospective way. Typically, the serum albumin level, total cholesterol level, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, together with the lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio, was determined to calculate the NPS. The prognostic impact of NPS was evaluated using survival analyses. Time-dependent receiver operating characteristic curve (t-ROC) analysis was also carried out for comparing prognostic impacts of those scoring systems.
resultsAltogether 231 cases were enrolled in this study. A higher NPS showed positive correlation with perineural invasion. Upon multivariate analysis, NPS was identified to be the independent prognostic factor to predict overall survival (OS) along with relapse-free survival (RFS) (both P< 0.05), and an especially strong correlation was observed at advanced pTNM stages based on NPS system. As for subgroup analyses on adjuvant chemotherapy or surgery only, NPS still independently predicted the OS as well as RFS (both P< 0.05) in both groups. Furthermore, t-ROC analysis showed that NPS was more accurate than the systemic inflammation score in predicting OS and RFS.
conclusionsThe NPS represents the simple and useful rating system, which can independently predict the survival for AEJ cases undergoing surgery.
