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

BACKGROUND/

aimPredicting the prognosis of metastatic urothelial carcinoma (mUC) patients is needed for clinical decisions. We examined the value of a modified Glasgow prognostic score (mGPS) as a predictive marker for mUC patients. PATIENTS AND

methodsIn a multicenter study, 68 mUC patients received short hydration gemcitabine/cisplatin (shGC) and 74 received pembrolizumab (PEM). Patients were allocated according to mGPS. Progression-free (PFS) and cancer-specific (CSS) survival were examined.

resultsHigher mGPS reflected poorer PFS and CSS in shGC (p=0.03, p<0.0001, respectively) and PEM (p=0.02, p<0.001, respectively) patients. PFS for the high mGPS group was longer than that of the low mGPS group in the two cohorts (p <0.0001 for both), with similar CSS results (p<0.0001 and p<0.001, respectively). Multivariate analyses revealed high mGPS was a risk factor for poor CSS in both cohorts (HR=3.55, p<0.001, and HR=2.21, p<0.01, respectively).

conclusionIn the mUC patients receiving shGC or PEM, mGPS was a predictive prognostic marker.
