The Relationship Between Systemic Immune Inflammatory Index and Prognosis of Patients With Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer: A Meta-Analysis and Systematic Review.
Review in Frontiers in surgery, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 35 papers, 4 of them syntheses 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
Background: The relationship between systemic immune inflammation index (SII) and the prognosis of cancer has always been a subject of intense interest. However, the prognostic value of SII in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients remains a controversial topic. Objective: To evaluate the effect of SII index on prognosis of NSCLC. Methods: We conducted a comprehensive search of PubMed, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library databases to determine correlation between SII index, clinicopathological features, overall survival (OS), and progression-free survival (PFS). Odds ratio (ORs) and 95% confidence interval (CIs) were used to assess the connection between SII and clinicopathological parameters, and HRs and 95% CIs were used to assess the connection between SII and survival. Results: Seventeen studies with 8,877 cases were included in the analysis. Compared with NSCLC patients with low SII level, patients with NSCLC with high SII level had a poor OS (HR = 1.75, 95% CI, 1.50-2.00; Conclusions: The SII index is a promising prognostic biomarker for NSCLC and may help clinicians choose appropriate NSCLC treatments.
