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

Objectives: The albumin-bilirubin (ALBI) score and colon inflammatory index (CII) are new sensitive scoring systems for several cancers. However, their clinical significance in colorectal cancer remains unclear. This study investigated the significance of ALBI score and CII for prognosis after colorectal cancer surgery. Methods: The present study analyzed data from patients who underwent curative resection for colorectal cancer. We investigated the association between preoperative ALBI score, CII, and disease-free and overall survival following surgery. Univariate and multivariate analyses were conducted to identify independent risk factors for poor prognosis in patients with colorectal cancer. Results: A total of 234 patients were included in the present study. Kaplan-Meier analysis demonstrated that patients with higher ALBI scores and poor CII had significantly worse disease-free and overall survival. In multivariate analysis, ALBI score ≥ -2.45 (P = 0.002), CII poor (P < 0.001), and pathological N1-3 stage (P = 0.017) were independent predictors of disease-free survival. Similarly, ALBI score ≥ -2.45 (P < 0.001 ), CII poor (P = 0.003), and pathological N1-3 stage (P = 0.015) were independent predictors of overall survival. Conclusions: ALBI score and CII were strong predictors of poor prognosis in patients who underwent curative resection for colorectal cancer, emphasizing their potential utility in clinical practice. Incorporating these markers into routine clinical practice may enhance individualized treatment strategies and postoperative surveillance.
