Prognostic significance of platelet-to-albumin ratio in patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma receiving definitive radiotherapy.
Article in Scientific reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 24 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
Accumulating evidence indicates that inflammation and nutrition status are associated with clinical outcomes in patients with various malignancies. This study aimed to evaluate the prognostic significance of the pretreatment platelet to albumin ratio (PAR) in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) patients undergoing definitive radiotherapy. A total of 470 patients who underwent definitive radiotherapy with or without chemotherapy were enrolled. The optimal cut-off values of PAR and other indicators were determined by the X-tile. The Kaplan-Meier method, multivariate analyses Cox regression were conducted to identify the association between those indicators and the survival outcomes. The median follow-up time was 23.5 months. The optimal cut-off value of PAR was 5.7 × 10
