Evaluation of Preoperative Inflammation-Based Prognostic Scores in Patients With Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma: A Multicenter Cohort Study.
Article in Frontiers in oncology, 2021. 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
backgroundAccumulating evidence has indicated the vital role of inflammation-based score (IBS) in predicting the prognostic outcome of cancer patients. Otherwise, their value in intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (iCCA) remains indistinct. The present study aimed to evaluate whether IBSs were related to survival outcomes in iCCA patients.
methodClinical characteristics were retrospectively collected in 399 patients diagnosed with iCCA from cohorts of Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center (SYSUCC) and the First Hospital of Dalian Medical University (FHDMU). The survival curves were constructed with the Kaplan-Meier method and compared with the log-rank test. Univariate and multivariate analyses were conducted to determine the prognostic factors of overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS). The concordance index and the area under the time-dependent receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves (AUROCs) were used to compare the predictive value of inflammation-based scores in terms of survival outcomes.
resultsThe significant survival differences in OS and DFS were observed when patients were stratified by the modified Glasgow Prognostic Score (mGPS) (p<0.001). Multivariate analysis demonstrated that higher mGPS score was independently associated with poor OS and DFS (p<0.001). The predictive accuracy of the mGPS was superior to other IBSs (all p<0.001) in survival prediction in iCCA patients. The findings were further supported by the external validation cohort.
conclusionThe mGPS is a sensitive, efficient, simple and widely applicable preoperative prognostic factor for iCCA patients. Thus, more effective therapy and frequent surveillance should be conducted after surgical resection in iCCA patients with higher mGPS scores.
