Assessing the Prognostic Value of 13 Inflammation-Based Scores in Patients with Unresectable or Advanced Biliary Tract Carcinoma After Immunotherapy.

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
Purpose: The response of patients with biliary tract carcinoma (BTC) to immunotherapy varies widely, and there is an urgent need for biological indicators. The predictive value of inflammation based score (IBS) for the efficacy of immunotherapy in patients with BTC remains unclear, as the evidence is inconsistent. This study aimed to comprehensively examine the predictive value of IBS in peripheral blood on the survival of BTC patients receiving immunotherapy. Patients and Methods: We retrospectively assessed 118 patients with advanced BTC who received anti-PD-1 therapy in the first or second line in two medical centers. The Kaplan-Meier, time-dependent ROC, and Harrell's concordance index (C-index) were applied to analyze the predictive value of 13 reported peripheral blood IBS. Results: All 13 IBS were identified as significant prognostic factors for OS in univariate analysis. Pan-immune-inflammation value (PIV) (p=0.005), PILE (composed of PIV, lactate dehydrogenase and Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status) ( Conclusion: PIV and PILE scores are independent predictors of OS in patients with BTC after immunotherapy and are superior to other IBS. PIV and PILE may be able to help screen out patients with advanced BTC who are less likely to benefit from anti-PD-1 monotherapy. Due to the retrospective nature of this analysis, the predictive value of PIV and PILE require validation in further prospective studies.
