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

Objective: The aim of this study was to explore the predictive role of inflammation-related parameters in prognosis of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). Methods: A total of 370 ESCC patients subjected to curative surgery were enrolled. All patients had complete medical records and did not receive preoperative adjuvant therapy. Preoperative systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) was calculated as platelet count × neutrophil count/lymphocyte count, prognostic nutrition index (PNI) as albumin concentration (g/L) + 5 × total lymphocyte count (10 Results: NLR was associated with gender ( Conclusions: Low LMR could serve as an independent marker of poor prognosis in patients with ESCC. Inflammation-related markers have distinct predictive roles in ESCC subgroups with different features.
