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

introductionThis investigation aimed to evaluate the predictive value of the systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) for in-hospital and long-term mortality in elderly patients with non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI).

methodsThis retrospective investigation included 314 consecutive elderly NSTEMI patients in a tertiary center. SII is computed as (neutrophils × platelets)/lymphocytes. Based on the increased SII values, we classified the research sample into three tertile groups as T1, T2, and T3. The in-hospital and long-term mortality were defined as the primary outcomes.

resultsPatients in the T3 group had lower chances of survival in the in-hospital and long-term periods compared with those in the T2 and T1 groups. According to the multivariable Cox regression models, SII independently related with in-hospital (hazard ratio (HR): 1.001, 95% CI: 1.000-1.1003, p = 0.038) and long-term mortality (HR: 1.004, 95% CI: 1.002-1.006, p < 0.001). To predict long-term mortality, the optimal SII value was > 2174 with 80% sensitivity and 85.4% specificity. SII had a slightly lower but statistically non-inferior discriminative ability for long-term mortality compared with the Charlson comorbidity index (CCI) in the receiver operating characteristic curve comparison (AUC: 86.2 vs. AUC: 890, p > 0.05). Additionally, combining SII with traditional risk factors and the CCI revealed a significant improvement in C-statistics.

conclusionThis investigation may be the first to demonstrate that SII is independently linked with in-hospital and long-term mortality in elderly NSTEMI patients.
