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
purposeInflammatory factors play an important role in the onset and progression of colorectal cancer (CRC). This study aimed to develop and validate a novel scoring system that utilizes specific inflammatory factor indicators to predict intestinal obstruction in CRC patients.
methodsThis study conducted a retrospective analysis of 1,470 CRC patients who underwent surgical resection between January 2013 and July 2018. These patients were randomly allocated to the training group (n = 1060) and the validation group (n = 410). Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to identify independent predictive factors for intestinal obstruction. The CRC peculiar inflammation score (CPIS), comprising lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (LMR), prognostic nutrition index (PNI), and alanine transaminase-to-lymphocyte ratio index (ALRI) scores, was significantly associated with the occurrence of intestinal obstruction. A nomogram combining CPIS with other clinical features was developed to predict this occurrence. Model accuracy was assessed by determining the area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC).
resultsThe CPIS generated by multi-factor logistic regression was as follows: - 1.576 × LMR - 0.067 × PNI + 0.018 × ALRI. Using CPIS cutoff values of 50% (- 7.188) and 85% (- 6.144), three predictive groups were established. Patients with a high CPIS had a significantly higher risk of intestinal obstruction than those with a low CPIS (odds ratio [OR]: 10.0, confidence interval [CI]: 5.85-17.08, P < 0.001). The predictive nomogram demonstrated good calibration and discrimination abilities. The AUC of the ROC curve for the obstruction nomogram was 0.813 (95% CI: 0.777-0.850) in the training set and 0.806 (95% CI: 0.752-0.860) in the validation set. The calibration curve exhibited neither bias nor high credibility. Decision curve analysis indicated the utility of this predictive model.
conclusionCRC-associated intestinal obstruction is closely linked to inflammatory markers in patients. CPIS is a CRC-specific inflammatory predictive score based on a combination of inflammatory-related indicators. A high CPIS serves as a strong indicator of intestinal obstruction. Its integration with other clinical factors and preoperative inflammatory-specific indicators significantly enhances the diagnosis and treatment of CRC patients with intestinal obstruction.
