The Systemic Immune-inflammation Index (SII) Is an Independent Prognostic Factor for Patients With Recurrent Esophageal Cancer After Esophagectomy.

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
BACKGROUND/
aimThe systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) has been developed and reported to be a useful prognostic factor in various malignancies. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the clinical impact of the SII as a prognostic factor for esophageal cancer recurrence after esophagectomy. PATIENTS AND
methodsWe retrospectively reviewed the medical records and collected data from consecutive patients with recurrent EC who received any treatment after recurrence at Yokohama City University from 2005 to 2022.
resultsNinety-four patients were included in this study. The median age was 69 years. The study included 83 men and 11 women. The median overall survival (OS) was 11.2 months. According to previous studies and 1- and 3-year OS rates, we set the cutoff value of the SII at 500 in the present study. Ninety-four patients were divided into an SSI-low group (n=36) and an SSI-high group (n=58). The 1- and 3-year OS rates were 84.9% and 44.7%, respectively, in the SSI-low group and 28.8% and 13.1%, respectively, in the SSI-high group. There were significant differences between the two groups (
conclusionThe SII was an independent prognostic factor. In addition, the SII affects the clinical course of treatment after recurrence. Therefore, physicians might have a chance to make better decisions for treatment and management of recurrent EC using the SII.
