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

backgroundWith the aging of the population, the proportion of older patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) is increasing annually. Preoperative frailty and chronic inflammatory responses may increase the risk of postoperative complications and affect long-term survival.

aimTo assess modified frailty index (mFI) and systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) for predicting postoperative prognosis in older patients with CRC.

methodsWe retrospectively analyzed 247 older patients with CRC who underwent radical resection. The SII was calculated as platelet count × neutrophil count/lymphocyte count. Patients were grouped by complication occurrence. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed for mFI, SII, and postoperative complications. Using receiver operating characteristic curve analysis, the critical SII value for predicting postoperative recurrence was identified, which was then used to divide patients into high/low mFI and high/low SII groups. Using Kaplan-Meier method between-group survival curves were drawn.

resultsThe 30-day complication rate was 12.55%. Multivariate logistic regression analysis identified smoking history [odds ratio (OR) = 4.822], prolonged operation time (OR = 1.037), and elevated preoperative mFI (OR = 9.342) and SII (OR = 1.002) as independent risk factors for postoperative complications (

conclusionIn older patients with CRC, the preoperative mFI and SII were significantly correlated with postoperative complications and RFS, warranting closer attention to early recurrence detection and intervention.
