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: Robust biomarkers are needed to address the prognostic heterogeneity in colorectal cancer (CRC). The pan-immune-inflammation value (PIV) and prognostic nutritional index (PNI) are biomarkers of systemic inflammation and immunonutritional status, respectively. This study aimed to develop and validate a novel combined PIV-PNI score to predict survival in CRC patients undergoing curative resection. Methods: This study included a total of 2116 CRC patients who underwent surgical treatment. The PIV and PNI were evaluated and cut-off values were determined. The PIV-PNI value range was 0 to 2, where 2 represented high PIV (≥ 208.9) and low PNI (≤ 49.05), with high PIV or low PNI indicated by 1 and neither is represented by a 0, respectively. The Cox regression model was used to determine the independent risk factors affecting the prognosis of the patients. A nomogram based on PIV-PNI was constructed, and its performance was evaluated using the C-index, calibration curve, ROC curve, and DCA curve. Finally, the nomogram model was compared with the existing staging models. Results: Patients with higher PIV-PNI scores had a poorer prognosis. In the multivariate analysis, it was found that the PIV-PNI score was an independent predictor for the overall survival rate and disease-free survival rate of CRC patients. The nomogram based on PIV-PNI demonstrated excellent discrimination, calibration, and clinical net benefit. The proposed nomogram performed better than other existing staging systems, as evidenced by its higher AUC value. Conclusion: The PIV-PNI score is a potent, non-invasive prognostic biomarker. The developed nomogram facilitates accurate risk stratification, potentially guiding personalized postoperative surveillance and adjuvant therapy decisions for CRC patients.
