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

Objective: To clarify the relationship between preoperative platelet count/(lymphocyte count × prealbumin count) ratio (PLPR) and the prognosis of patients with gastric cancer undergoing a radical operation, combined with Tumor Node Metastasis (TNM) staging, a scoring system was established to guide clinical application. Methods: The clinical data of 238 patients receiving radical operations for gastric cancer were retrospectively analyzed. According to the area under the Receiver operating characteristic curve, the predictive value of the preoperative PLPR for the 5-year overall survival (OS) of gastric cancer was determined, and the best cut-off value of the ratio was corresponding to the maximum value of Yoden index. Chi-squared test was applied to analyze the correlation between the ratio and clinicopathological features. Kaplan-Meier curve was applied to analyze the influence of this ratio on 5-year OS. The Cox regression model was applied to analyze the hazards affecting the long-term survival of patients. The nomogram model was used to predict the long-term survival rate. Results: The optimal cut-off point of preoperative PLPR ratio was 7.46, and the patients were segmented into two sets: one set of ratio <7.46 and another set of ratio ≥7.46. The ratio was correlated with the size of the tumor, T stage, N stage, total stage, vascular cancer thrombus, and nerve invasion. In stage I-III patients, the prognosis was better in the low-ratio set than in the high-ratio set ( Conclusion: Preoperative PLPR ratio (reference value 7.46) is an independent risk factor for long-term prognosis in patients undergoing a radical operation for gastric cancer. The nomogram scoring system established by postoperative TNM staging combined with this ratio and age, PLR, and SII can better forecast the survival of patients who underwent radical operation for carcinoma of the stomach.
