Preoperative Platelet-to-Lymphocyte Ratio (PLR) for Predicting the Survival of Stage I-III Gastric Cancer Patients with a MGC Component.
Article in BioMed research international, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
backgroundThe preoperative platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) evaluates the prognosis of gastric cancer patients. However, whether preoperative PLR may be used to evaluate the prognosis of mucinous gastric carcinoma (MGC) patients is poorly investigated. The present study evaluated the effect of preoperative PLR on overall survival in gastric cancer patients with a mucinous component.
methodsA total of 336 MGC were enrolled in this study, and the characteristics of the tumor, including pathological features and clinical data, were retrospectively analyzed.
resultsA high PLR was associated with larger tumor size, advanced tumor invasion, lymph node metastasis, advanced TNM stage, tumor location, total gastrectomy, low hemoglobin level, low albumin level, high fibrinogen level, high platelet level, and high neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR, all
conclusionPreoperative PLR is related to pathological features and may independently evaluate the survival of MGC. Therefore, preoperative PLR may help physicians develop treatment plans and evaluate survival in these patients.
