1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

purposeSystemic inflammation score (SIS) is a novel prognostic score (0, 1, or 2) for various cancers, based on preoperative serum albumin level and lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (LMR); modified SIS (mSIS) uses a different LMR cutoff value and was thought to be a more accurate predictor for cancer prognosis. Here, we assessed the prognostic value of SIS and mSIS in patients who receive hepatic resection for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).

methodsWe retrospectively evaluated SIS and mSIS of 314 patients after hepatic resection for HCC, against their clinicopathological factors and outcomes, using receiver operating characteristics (ROC) analysis over time.

resultsAmong patients with preoperative SIS 2, significantly more HCC specimens were poorly differentiated (P = 0.0281), larger (P = 0.0006), and had more microscopic vascular invasion (P = 0.0136) than the SIS 0-1 group; the mSIS 2 group also had significantly larger tumors (P = 0.0039) than the mSIS 0-1 group. In ROC analysis, SIS was a better predictor of overall survival (OS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS) than mSIS. The SIS 2 group had shorter OS (P = 0.0015) and RFS (P = 0.0065) than other patients. In multivariate analysis, SIS 2 was an independent risk factor for shorter OS (hazard ratio (HR) 1.53, P = 0.0497) and RFS (HR 1.58, P = 0.0053).

conclusionSIS is superior to mSIS in predicting prognosis of patients with HCC. mSIS is not a great predictor of prognosis in resected HCC.
