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

backgroundThe prognostic value of the Systemic Inflammation Response Index (SIRI) in advanced pancreatic cancer is recognized, but its correlation with patients´ nutritional status and outcomes remains unexplored.

aimTo study the prognostic significance of SIRI and weight loss in metastatic pancreatic cancer.

methodsThe PANTHEIA-Spanish Society of Medical Oncology (SEOM) study is a multicentric (16 Spanish hospitals), observational, longitudinal, non-interventional initiative, promoted by the SEOM Real World-Evidence work group. This pilot study sought to analyze the association between weight loss and inflammatory status as defined by SIRI. The cohort stems from a proof-of-concept pilot study conducted at one of the coordinating centers. Patients with pathologically confirmed metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma, treated from January 2020 to January 2023, were included. The index was calculated using the product of neutrophil and monocyte counts, divided by lymphocyte counts, obtained within 15 days before initiation chemotherapy. This study evaluated associations between overall survival (OS), SIRI and weight loss.

resultsA total of 50 patients were included. 66% of these patients were male and the median age was 66 years. Metastasis sites: 36% liver, 12% peritoneal carcinomatosis, 10% lung, and 42% multiple locations. Regarding the first line palliative chemotherapy treatments: 50% received gemcitabine plus nab-paclitaxel; 28%, modified fluorouracil, leucovorin, irinotecan and oxaliplatin, and 16% were administered gemcitabine. 42% had a weight loss > 5% in the three months (mo) preceding diagnosis. 21 patients with a SIRI ≥ 2.3 × 10

conclusionA higher SIRI was correlated with decreased survival rates in patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer and associated with weight loss. An elevated SIRI is suggested as a predictor of survival, emphasizing the need for prospective validation in the upcoming PANTHEIA-SEOM study.
