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

BACKGROUND/

aimObstructive colorectal cancer (oCRC) accounts for a significant proportion of colorectal malignancies and is associated with poor prognosis and higher perioperative morbidity. Inflammation-based biomarkers have emerged as potential predictors of survival in various cancers. However, their prognostic role in oCRC remains unclear. PATIENTS AND

methodsThis retrospective study included patients who underwent surgery for histopathologically confirmed oCRC at Sakarya University Training and Research Hospital between January 2015 and February 2024. Preoperative systemic inflammatory markers-C-reactive protein-to-albumin ratio (CAR), lymphocyte-to-C-reactive protein ratio (LCR), prognostic nutritional index (PNI), neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), systemic inflammatory index (SII), and HALP score-were analyzed. Overall survival was recorded, and statistical analyses were performed.

resultsAmong the inflammatory markers, CAR, LCR, and PNI were significantly associated with overall survival at 1, 3, and 5 years (

conclusionPreoperative systemic inflammatory markers, particularly LCR, CAR, and PNI, are valuable prognostic indicators in patients with oCRC. These easily obtainable markers may help guide clinical decision-making and improve individualized patient management.
