Utility of the High-Sensitivity Modified Glasgow Prognostic Scores for Oropharyngeal Carcinoma.
Article in OTO open. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectiveThere is increasing evidence that the high-sensitivity modified Glasgow prognostic scores are inflammatory indices that can predict survival for many cancer types. However, there is limited information regarding their prognostic values in cases of head and neck cancer. This study aimed to evaluate whether the high-sensitivity modified Glasgow prognostic scores could predict outcomes among patients with oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPC). STUDY
designRetrospective study.
settingUniversity hospital.
methodsWe reviewed the records of 106 patients with histologically confirmed OPC between March 2009 and June 2020. The high-sensitivity modified Glasgow prognostic scores were calculated as 0 (C-reactive protein [CRP] concentration: ≤0.3 mg/dL), 1 (CRP concentration >0.3 mg/dL and albumin concentration ≥3.5 mg/dL), or 2 (CRP concentration >0.3 mg/dL and albumin concentration <3.5 mg/dL). Univariate and multivariable Cox proportional hazard analyses were performed for overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS).
resultsForty-four of these patients had human papillomavirus (HPV)-positive OPC, and 62 had HPV-negative OPC, and these populations were analyzed separately. The high-sensitivity modified Glasgow prognostic score was significantly associated with age, performance status, and HPV. On univariate analysis, high-sensitivity modified Glasgow prognostic score showed associations with OS and DFS in both subpopulations. Moreover, on multivariable analysis, the high-sensitivity modified Glasgow prognostic score showed associations with OS and DFS in both subpopulations. Poor performance status predicted OS in both subpopulations.
conclusionWe conclude that the high-sensitivity modified Glasgow prognostic score is useful as an independent prognostic factor in OPC.
