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: This study investigates the relationship between the systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) and all-cause mortality (ACM) risk in individuals with stages IIIB-IV epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-mutated lung adenocarcinoma. Methods: The clinical data of 187 individuals with stages IIIB-IV EGFR-mutated lung adenocarcinoma from Anhui Chest Hospital, collected from June 2017 to December 2023, were retrospectively analyzed. SII was calculated as platelet count × neutrophil count/lymphocyte count. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was employed to determine the optimal threshold SII, and individuals were classified as low and high SII groups. ACM serves as the primary endpoint. Univariate and multivariate analyses were conducted using Cox proportional hazards models. The robustness of the findings was tested by subgroup and sensitivity analyses. Results: The ACM risk was notably elevated in the high SII group ( Conclusion: Elevated SII is an independent biomarker for predicting ACM in individuals with stages IIIB-IV EGFR-mutated lung adenocarcinoma, with a stronger predictive value in male and older populations.
