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

objectiveTo evaluate the predictive value of monocyte (M) to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) ratio (MHR) and tumor markers in colorectal cancer (CRC) and their correlation with clinicopathological characteristics.

methodsHematology test data and medical records of 202 CRC patients and 201 healthy subjects were collected retrospectively. The diagnostic efficacy of MHR was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves and risk factors for CRC were analyzed by multivariate logistic regression.

resultsCRC patients had significantly higher M, MHR, carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), and carbohydrate antigen 199 (CA199) levels, but significantly lower HDL-C levels than healthy controls (all P < 0.05). Additionally, MHR was positively correlated with tumor differentiation in CRC patients (P = 0.049); CEA and CA199 levels in CRC patients increased with increased stage, lymph node metastasis and tumor size ≥ 5 cm (all P < 0.05). Furthermore, high levels of MHR, CA199 and CEA were independent risk factors for CRC. The area under ROC curve of MHR combined with CEA and CA199 was 0.882/0.869 for the diagnosis of CRC, respectively.

conclusionThis is the first study to explore the predictive value of MHR in CRC, and its continuous increase is an independent risk factor for CRC. MHR is a promising predictor for CRC progression along with CA199 and CEA.
