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

This study aimed to evaluate the correlation between the pre-treatment peripheral platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) and the prognostic nutritional index (PNI) with the efficacy and prognosis of radiotherapy for cervical cancer. A total of 110 patients with cervical cancer who received radiotherapy at our hospital from November 2017 to November 2020 were retrospectively analysed. The cut-off values of PLR and PNI were obtained using the receive operating characteristic curve (ROC) and the Youden index. The patients were divided into high PLR and low PLR and high PNI and low PNI groups. We compared the clinical characteristics, 3-year overall survival (OS), and progression-free survival (PFS) between the high and low PLR groups, as well as the high and low PNI groups of patients. Cox regression was used to analyse the factors influencing OS and PFS. The median follow-up duration was 26 months. The optimal cut-off value for PLR was 186.88 and that for PNI was 47.35. The 3-year OS values were 81.00% and 97.10% for the high PLR (PLR > 186.88) and low PLR (PLR ≤ 186.88) groups, respectively, and the 3-year PFS values were 59.50% and 88.20% for the high PLR and low PLR groups, respectively, with statistically significant differences (
