Increased Pre-Operative Lung Immune Prognostic Index Score Is a Prognostic Factor in Cases of Pathological T3 Renal Cell Carcinoma.

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
We assessed the efficacy of the lung immune prognostic index (LIPI) in predicting the progression of pathological T3 renal cell carcinoma (RCC). The LIPI scores of patients with pathological T3 RCC were calculated in the pre- and post-operative phases. Patients were divided into zero-point, one-point, and two-point groups according to their LIPI score and into the upstage and non-upstage groups according to the pre- and post-operative increase in LIPI score. Overall survival (OS) was evaluated using Kaplan-Meier curves stratified by group. Univariate and multivariate analyses of OS were performed via Cox proportional hazard regression analysis. LIPI scores were calculated in 80 patients wherein blood sampling data were available. The upstage and non-upstage groups comprised eight and seventy-two patients, respectively. Kaplan-Meier curves showed a significant difference in the pre- to post-operative LIPI score upstage group. LIPI score change was a poor prognostic factor using univariate analysis (OS: hazard ratio (HR) = 4.10, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.07-15.61,
