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

Objective: This study aims to construct and verify Nomogram prediction model for clinical outcomes of elderly patients with gastric cancer after surgery, which is based on multiple factors such as peripheral blood neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR), tumor burden and nutritional status. Methods: A total of 189 elderly patients with gastric cancer who received surgical treatment in our hospital from January 2019 to December 2024 were included in the study. They were divided into a training set (n=132) and a validation set (n=57) according to the ratio of 7:3. The data including age, gender, body mass index (BMI), smoking history, drinking history, comorbidities, tumor location, size, histological type, differentiation degree, TNM stage, lymph node metastasis, and preoperative NLR value were collected. After single-factor and multi-factor analysis, the risk factors influencing the postoperative clinical outcome were screened, and the Nomogram model was constructed, evaluated and validated. The decision curve analysis was used to evaluate the clinical value of the model. Results: There were 46 cases (34.85%) with adverse clinical outcomes in the training set and 20 cases (35.09%) with adverse clinical outcomes in the validation set. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that NLR, BMI, tumor size, lymph node metastasis, carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), and age were the independent influencing factors for adverse clinical outcomes of elderly patients after gastric cancer surgery (all Conclusion: The NLR-based Nomogram model is useful for predicting the postoperative clinical outcomes of elderly patients with gastric cancer, but it needs to be verified by further large-sample multi-center research.
