Prognostic role of Naples Prognostic Score in lung cancer: a meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Journal of cardiothoracic surgery, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
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
purposeThe prognostic value of the Naples prognostic score in lung cancer remains controversial. Therefore, we performed a meta-analysis of relevant published studies to determine the prognostic value of the Naples prognostic score in patients with lung cancer.
methodsWe conducted a systematic search of relevant studies in PubMed, Ovid, the Cochrane Library, and Web of Science databases. Data and characteristics of each study were extracted and hazard ratios (HRs) at 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) were calculated to estimate effects. A meta-regression analysis was used to assess the prognostic value of the Naples Prognostic Score in patients with lung cancer.
resultsA total of 1691 patients from six studies were included in this meta-analysis, with a combined HR of 3.357 (95% CI: 1.964–5.738, P < 0.001); the results suggest that a high Naples Prognostic Score predicts a shorter overall survival (OS) for patients.
conclusionThis meta-analysis suggests that a high Naples Prognostic Score may be a predictor of poor prognosis in lung cancer patients. Further large cohort studies are needed to confirm these findings.
