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/

aimThe prognosis of a cancer patient is influenced by the tumor-related factors, as well as by various patient-related factors. We evaluated the association between inflammatory and nutritional factors and their outcomes, including the prognosis and therapeutic course, in patients with metastatic breast cancer. PATIENTS AND

methodsIn this observational retrospective study, we evaluated 35 patients. The inflammatory and nutritional markers before systemic therapy included the lymphocyte count, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio (MLR), systemic immune-inflammatory index (SII), systemic inflammatory response index (SIRI), pan-immuno-inflammatory values (PIV), prognostic nutritional index (PNI), Glasgow prognostic score (GPS), and psoas muscle index (PMI).

resultsTriple-negative, low PNI, and GPS 2 were correlated with worse overall survival in the univariable analysis. The GPS was the only independent predictor of overall survival [hazard ratio=5.85, 95% confidence interval=1.15-29.68, p<0.01]. The time to treatment failure of first-line therapy in patients with GPS 2 was significantly shorter than that in patients with GPS 0/1 (p<0.01).

conclusionThe GPS was an independent predictive marker for overall survival in patients with metastatic breast cancer.
