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: High-risk neuroblastoma (HR-NB) has a high mortality rate and a long-term survival rate below 50%. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) is essential for HR-NB treatment. However, real-time treatment response biomarkers are lacking. The Systemic Immune-Inflammation Index (SII) shows promise as a prognostic tool for various malignancies. This study explored the relationship between dynamic SII changes during NAC and treatment responses and prognosis in HR-NB. Methods: This retrospective study analyzed 50 HR-NB patients' clinical data from January 2013 to November 2024. Peripheral blood samples were collected before and after each cycle of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) to calculate SII values. Results: Significant differences in SII changes were found among treatment response groups (P < 0.05). Spearman analysis showed a strong positive correlation between ΔSII and tumor diameter change rate (r = 0.606, P < 0.001). Regression analyses indicated ΔSII was an independent predictor of tumor diameter change (β = 0.07, 95% CI: 0.05-0.10, P < 0.001) and chemosensitivity (OR = 0.00, 95% CI: 0.00-0.03, P = 0.010). ΔSII was also an independent prognostic factor for EFS and OS (HR = 1.35 and 1.41, P < 0.05) with high predictive accuracy (AUC: 0.766-0.932). Conclusion: Dynamic SII changes during NAC are significantly linked to treatment response and prognosis in HR-NB, offering a new perspective for precision treatment and prognosis evaluation.
