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: Immune imbalance appears to have a critical role in tumor growth according to emerging research. Peripheral lymphocyte subsets are considered to reflect the systemic immune response and clinical prognosis. The prognostic value of lymphocyte subpopulations in myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) patients remains unclear. Methods: A total of 94 MDS patients were enrolled for the study. X-tile software was performed to determine the prognostic significance of various lymphocyte subpopulations, CD3, CD4, CD8, CD4/CD8 ratio, natural killer cell (NK) and CD19. Among them, the appropriate threshold of NK percent could be found only. Patients were divided into the high NK percent group and the low NK percent group. The prognostic significance was determined by univariate and multivariate Cox hazard models. Results: MDS patients with lower NK level had significantly shorter overall survival (OS). Based on univariate analysis, male gender ( Conclusion: Decreased NK level predicts poor prognosis independent of the IPSS-R and provide a novel evaluation factor for MDS patients.
