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: Pretreatment systemic inflammation and nutrition-based prognostic indices (SINBPI) have demonstrated significance. This study investigated the prognostic value of pretreatment SINBPI for patients with oropharyngeal cancer and identified unfavorable prognostic markers. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the data of 124 patients with oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) who received definitive treatment between January 2010 and December 2018. The prognostic utility of the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (LMR), prognostic nutritional index, and high-sensitivity modified Glasgow prognostic score (HS-mGPS) was assessed for disease-free survival (DFS), disease-specific survival (DSS), and overall survival (OS) using univariate and multivariate analyses. Results: Multivariate analyses revealed that human papillomavirus (HPV) status and HS-mGPS were significantly associated with DFS, DSS, and OS. Patients with a HS-mGPS of 2 had a significantly higher rate of treatment-related deaths than those with a HS-mGPS of 0 or 1. The combination of the HS-mGPS and PLR had more accurate predictive ability in DFS and OS compared with the HS-mGPS alone, and the combination of the HS-mGPS and LMR had more accurate predictive ability in DSS and OS. Conclusion: Our results indicated that the HS-mGPS was a useful prognostic marker for patients with OPSCC, and combined markers consisting of the HS-mGPS and PLR or LMR may provide more accurate prognostic predictions.Level of Evidence: 3.
