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/

aimPerioperative nutrition and inflammation affect the oncological outcomes of various malignancies. We evaluated the clinical impact of the preoperative platelet-to-albumin ratio (PAR) in resectable esophageal cancer patients who received curative treatment. PATIENTS AND

methodsThis study included 168 patients who underwent curative surgery followed by perioperative adjuvant chemotherapy for esophageal cancer between 2005 and 2018. The risk factors for overall survival (OS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS) were identified.

resultsBased on the 3- and 5-year OS rates, we set the cut-off value for the PAR at 80×10

conclusionThe PAR had clinical influence on the long-term oncological outcomes of esophageal cancer patients and might thus be a promising prognostic factor for esophageal cancer patients.
