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

Our study aimed to examine the predictive relevance of the Systemic Immune-Inflammation Index (SII) in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). A total of 113 mCRPC patients were assessed. In this descriptive study, SII was calculated using the formula (neutrophil count × platelet count)/lymphocyte count. The optimal threshold for SII, determined via the ROC curve, was 700. Patients with SII ≤ 700 were classified as SII-low, while those with SII > 700 were categorized as SII-high. The median overall survival (mOS) was significantly longer in the low SII group compared to the high SII group (*P = 0.015). In multivariate analysis, Gleason score, albumin levels, CHAARTED volume, and SII were identified as significant prognostic factors. Our findings indicate that SII has a strong correlation with survival and can serve as an independent prognostic marker in mCRPC patients.
