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: This study aims to explore the prognostic utility of the CRP-Albumin- Lymphocyte Index (CALLY) in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) patients undergoing curative resection. Methods: A retrospective analysis of 172 TNBC patients treated surgically between January 2011 and December 2020 was conducted. Preoperative CALLY was calculated as (albumin × lymphocyte) / CRP Survival curves for disease free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) were estimated using Kaplan-Meier method, and differences between groups were statistically evaluated by Log rank test. Univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression model were constructed incorporating variables identified as potential independent variables. Nomograms were established according to the multivariate analysis results, and with internal validation performed using the consistency index (C-index), calibration curve, and decision curve analyses (DCA). Results: Patients were stratified into low CALLY group (<0.44, n=83) and high CALLY group (≥0.44, n=89) based on the optimal cutoff value of CALLY determined by receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) analysis. High CALLY correlated with significantly prolonged DFS (32.54 vs. 28.97 months; χ Conclusion: CALLY reflects systemic inflammation, nutrition, and immune status, and represents a novel prognostic index for TNBC. Its integration into nomograms enhances personalized risk stratification and treatment decision-making.
