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

INTRODUCTION/

aimSerum albumin concentration (COA) and neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) could reflect immunological and nutritional status. We aim to evaluate the impact of COA-NLR score on the prognosis of gastric cancer (GC). MATERIAL AND

methodsWe perform a retrospective analysis on a database of 637 GC cases, between January 2010 and December 2017. In 396 patients, the inclusion criteria for this study were met (non-resectional or palliative surgery were excluded). Analytic data was only available in 203 patients. COA-NLR score was defined as follows: COA under 35 g/L and NLR value of 2.585 or higher, score 2; one of these conditions, score 1; and neither, score 0.

resultsIn our population (n = 203), 87 patients were classified as score 0, 82 as score 1 and 34 as score 2. COA-NLR score was significantly associated with DFS (HR 1.674; CI 95% 1.115-2.513; p = 0.013) and with OS (HR 2.072; CI 95% 1.531-2.805; p < 0.001). Kaplan-Meier curve analysis (log rank test) revealed that a higher score of COA-NLR predicted a worse OS (p < 0.001) and DFS (p = 0.03). COA-NLR was an independent prognostic factor for OS when adjusted to pStage and age (adjusted HR 1.566; CI 95% 1.145-2.143; p = 0.005).

conclusionsPreoperative COA-NLR score was significantly associated with worse OS and DFS and, in this way, with worse prognosis on GC patients submitted to curative-intent resectional surgery.
