Prognostic value of systemic immune-inflammation index in patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma treated with systemic therapy: a meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Frontiers in oncology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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: A novel systemic immune-inflammation index (SII), based on the neutrophils, lymphocytes, and platelet counts, is associated with the prognosis of several cancers, including non-metastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC). In the present study, we evaluate the prognostic significance of SII in patients with metastatic RCC (mRCC) treated with systemic therapy. Method: Relevant studies were searched comprehensively from Web of Science, PubMed, Embase and the Cochrane Library up to January 2024. The pooled hazard ratio (HR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) were extracted from each study to evaluate the prognostic value of SII in patients with mRCC treated with tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) or immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI). Results: A total of 12 studies including 4,238 patients were included in the final analysis. High SII was significantly correlated to poor overall survival (OS, HR = 1.88; 95% CI 1.60-2.21; Conclusion: In conclusion, high SII could serve as an unfavorable factor in patients with mRCC treated with systemic therapy. Stratified by therapies, the elevated SII was also associated with worse prognosis. Whereas, more prospective and large-scale studies are warranted to validate our findings.
