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

Objective: To compare the prognostic value between the C-reactive protein-albumin-lymphocyte index (CALLY) and traditional inflammatory markers [including the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), the lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (LMR), and the platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR)] after radical resection of colorectal cancer (CRC). Methods: A total of 152 CRC patients who underwent radical resection in Baotou Central Hospital from January 2016 to December 2019 were selected and studied retrospectively. The clinicopathological traits of the patients were collected and analyzed, and their survival outcomes were followed up. The prognostic value of the CALLY index and classical CRC prognostic factors was compared through the concordance index (CI) and the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC). The COX risk regression model was used for multivariate analysis to evaluate the impact of different indicators on prognosis. Results: The AUC of the CALLY index was 0.789 (95%CI: 0.703-0.875, Conclusion: By integrating inflammation, nutrition, and immune status, the CALLY index performs significantly better than traditional single indicators in postoperative prognostic prediction in CRC patients. It can serve as a reliable tool for postoperative prognostic evaluation of CRC and provide incremental value for clinical risk stratification.
