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

purposeThe systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) is a hematological marker that reflects the immune status of the body. This study was designed to evaluate the prognostic significance of the baseline SII in HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer (MBC) patients receiving chemotherapy plus trastuzumab without or with pertuzumab.

methodsData were collected from 774 patients from the CLEOPATRA trial, 196 patients from the H0648G trial, and 229 patients from six clinical centers in China. Patients were divided into the low and high SII subgroups according to the median SII value. The inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) method was used to control bias. Associations between the SII and progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were analyzed.

resultsIn the CLEOPATRA trial, a lower SII was associated with better PFS (hazard ratio [HR] 1.31, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.04-1.65, P = 0.02) and OS (HR 1.42, 95% CI 1.07-1.88, P = 0.02) in the trastuzumab and docetaxel groups, as well as improved PFS in the trastuzumab and pertuzumab and docetaxel groups (HR 1.39, 95% CI 1.10-1.77, P < 0.01) after IPTW. In the H0648G trial, a lower SII was associated with better PFS (P = 0.04) and OS (P = 0.02) in HER2-positive MBC patients receiving trastuzumab-based therapy. According to real-world data, a lower SII predicted an improvement in PFS for patients treated with docetaxel plus trastuzumab without or with pertuzumab (P = 0.02 and 0.01, respectively).

conclusionsA low baseline SII is associated with better survival outcomes among HER2-positive MBC patients receiving trastuzumab-based first-line therapy.
