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

backgroundNutritional and inflammatory indicators are crucial in assessing the nutritional health and immune function of patients with cancer, which are factors closely associated with the diagnosis and treatment of colorectal cancer (CRC).

aimTo explore the relationship between nutritional and inflammatory indicators and microsatellite stability (MSS) status in CRC.

methodsThe clinical data of 56 patients who underwent surgical treatment for CRC were collected. Furthermore, the expressions of nutritional (levels of serum albumin, triglycerides, serum cholesterol, and body mass index) and inflammatory response indicators (absolute neutrophil count, absolute lymphocyte count, absolute monocyte count, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, and lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio) as well as their correlation with microsatellite instability (MSI) status were investigated in patients with CRC.

resultsCompared to the patients with MSS tumors, those with MSI tumors demonstrated significantly lower levels of two nutritional indicators, namely serum albumin and body mass index (

conclusionCertain nutritional and inflammatory indicators exhibit significant differences among patients with MSI and MSS CRC, highlighting their potential role in the clinical treatment and health management of this specific population.
