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

Mini-abstract: The pan-immune-inflammation value was associated with clinical outcomes and tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes in 866 esophageal cancers. Systemic immune competence may influence patient prognosis through local immune response. Objective: To examine the relationship between the pan-immune-inflammation value (PIV), tumor immunity, and clinical outcomes in 866 patients with esophageal cancer. Background: The PIV, calculated from all immune-inflammatory cells in the peripheral blood count, is a recently proposed marker for clinical outcomes in some types of cancers. Nonetheless, the prognostic significance of PIV in esophageal cancer remains unclear. Methods: In the derivation cohort (n = 433), we set the optimal cutoff value using a time-dependent receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. In the validation cohort (n = 433), the relationships between the PIV, tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs), CD8 expression by immunohistochemical staining, and patient prognosis were examined. Results: The area under the ROC curve for the PIV at 5 years was 0.631 in the derivation cohort. The validation cohort, divided into PIV-low cases (n = 223) and PIV-high cases (n = 210), showed significantly worse overall survival (log-rank Conclusions: The PIV was associated with clinical outcomes in esophageal cancer, supporting its role as a prognostic biomarker. Considering the relationship between the PIV and TILs, systemic immune competence may influence patient prognosis through a local immune response.
