A Novel Prognostic Index for Metastatic Colon Cancer: The Prognostic Immune Nutritional Index.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
Objective Systemic inflammation and nutrition are associated with survival outcomes in metastatic colon cancer (mCC) patients. A new and strong prognostic marker named the Prognostic Immune Nutritional Index (PINI) was proposed as the best marker for outcomes in metastatic colon cancer patients. This study aimed to evaluate the prognostic significance of PINI in mCC patients. Methods The data of 190 patients who were admitted to our center and diagnosed with mCC between 2010 and 2020 abiding by our inclusion criteria were reviewed retrospectively. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis was used to identify the optimum cutoff value of PINI for overall survival (OS). Results The mean age of the participants was 62.64±11.99 years. The median follow-up time was 25.81 months. According to PINI, the median OS in patients who had PINI<3 was 22.70 months (95% confidence interval (CI): 16.05-29.35), and the median OS in patients who had PINI≥3 was 38.83 months (95% CI: 26.98-37.01) (p<0.001). PINI score lower than 3 was an independent prognostic indicator in multivariate analysis. Conclusions PINI was discovered to be an independent prognostic factor in metastatic colorectal cancer. We believe that PINI, which can be calculated using a simple formula, will provide clinicians with important clues when deciding on individual treatment.
