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

Background/Aim: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the clinical impact of the Global Immune-Nutrition-Information Index (GINI) in patients with gastric cancer (GC) who received curative treatment and to clarify the potential of the GINI as a biomarker. Patients and Methods: Patients who underwent curative resection for GC at Yokohama City University between 2005 and 2020 were selected based on their medical records. The GINI was calculated as follows: GINI=[C-reactive protein × platelet × monocyte × neutrophil]/[albumin × lymphocyte]. Results: A total of 258 patients were included in this study. Of these, 169 patients were categorized into the GINI-low group and 89 into the GINI-high group using a cut-off value of 1,730. The three- and five-year overall survival (OS) rates were 86.4% and 78.4%, respectively, in the GINI-low group, and 66.4% and 58.3% in the GINI-high group (p<0.001). In a multivariate analysis for OS, the GINI was identified as an independent prognostic factor [hazard ratio (HR)=1.772; 95% confidence interval (CI)=1.053-2.979, p=0.031]. Similar results were observed for RFS. In addition, the GINI affected the perioperative clinical course, including postoperative surgical complications and postoperative adjuvant treatment. Conclusion: The GINI is a promising biomarker for the treatment and management of GC.
