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
Objective: This study aims to evaluate the association between the systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) and the degree of surgical invasiveness in patients undergoing robot-assisted fixation for anterior pelvic ring fractures. Methods: This study enrolled patients aged 18-80 years with anterior pelvic ring fractures who underwent INFIX internal fixation, either with or without robotic assistance, between July 2022 and December 2023. Participants were categorized into two groups based on the use of robot-assisted techniques. Exclusion criteria included the presence of multiple fractures requiring additional internal fixation, pre-existing infections, or underlying conditions that could influence inflammatory blood markers. Operative duration, intraoperative blood loss, and incidence of lateral femoral cutaneous nerve (LFCN) injury were documented. The SII was assessed both pre- and postoperatively. Statistical analyses were performed using t-tests. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were generated to evaluate the predictive performance of SII regarding surgical invasiveness, with optimal cut-off values determined using the Youden index. Results: A total of 41 patients were included in the study. No significant differences in gender or age were observed between the robot-assisted and non-robot-assisted groups. Compared to the non-robot-assisted group, the robot-assisted group demonstrated significantly shorter operative duration, reduced intraoperative bleeding, and a lower incidence of LFCN palsy ( Conclusion: The findings suggest that the postoperative SII may serve as a valuable biomarker reflecting the degree of surgical invasiveness associated with robot-assisted or conventional INFIX procedures for anterior pelvic ring fractures. A postoperative SII value exceeding 745.15 demonstrates promising predictive utility for elevated surgical trauma, with a specificity of 83.3% and sensitivity of 75%.
