Association of the systemic immune inflammation index with failure after core decompression for osteonecrosis of the femoral head: a prospective time-to-event analysis.
Article in Annals of medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectiveThis study aimed to assess the association between preoperative systemic immune inflammation index (SII) and failure after core decompression (CD).
methodsWe conducted a prospective study of patients admitted to a tertiary referral hospital with osteonecrosis of the femoral head who underwent CD between October 1, 2014 and April 30, 2019, and provided a minimum 3-year follow-up assessment. Restricted cubic splines assessed the dose-effect relationship between SII and failure. Propensity score matching (PSM) balanced potential preoperative confounders. Kaplan-Meier analyses estimated cumulative incidence as a function of time for the failure between low SII and high SII groups. Multivariable Cox proportional hazards models evaluated the independent association of high SII with failure after adjustment for perioperative factors. Prespecified subgroup analyses explored heterogeneity.
resultsWe found a positive relationship between the preoperative SII and failure after CD. Among 963 CD procedures performed in 676 patients, failure was observed in 97 cases in a median period of 5.4 years. The cumulative incidence of failure was 10.6% (95% CI, 8.7%, 12.8%) at 5 years. After PSM, failure rates at 5 years were identified as significant differences between the high SII and low SII groups (Log-rank p = 0.019), and that high SII was independently associated with a 1.90-fold (95% CI, 1.14, 3.18; p = 0.014) increased risk of failure. Significant heterogeneity was observed by gender and aetiology (P for interaction < 0.05).
conclusionsPreoperative high SII is a significant risk factor for failure after CD, which could be considered when evaluating surgical indications and providing preoperative counseling to patients.
