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

Objective: This study aims to elucidate the relationship between postoperative monocyte count and gastric cancer prognosis. We introduce a standardized monocyte ratio (MMR) to predict postoperative survival rates in gastric cancer patients effectively. Methods: A test cohort was created to develop and evaluate the pre- and postoperative MMR as a mortality predictor in gastric cancer patients. We used Kaplan-Meier survival analysis, complemented by univariate and multivariate analyses. The predictive utility of MMR was assessed via time-dependent ROC curves and decision-curve analysis. Results: The sample distributions in both cohorts were similar. The MMR showed high predictive value and significant clinical benefits in 1, 3, and 5-year overall survival (OS) assessments. These findings enhance understanding of prognosis and aid in developing more precise treatment plans. Conclusions: MMR is confirmed as an independent factor in predicting overall survival in gastric cancer patients, proving to be a reliable and cost-effective prognostic indicator.
