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

The systemic immune-inflammation index (SII), derived from platelet, neutrophil, and lymphocyte counts in peripheral blood, is linked to prognosis in several cancers. We evaluated whether changes in SII during neoadjuvant therapy could predict treatment outcomes in gastric cancer. A total of 410 patients received either chemotherapy alone or chemotherapy combined with immune checkpoint inhibitors, including internal and external cohorts. The SII rate (SIIR) was defined as the relative change in SII before and after treatment. Patients with at least a 35% reduction were classified as the SIIR reduction group. In the immunotherapy cohort, patients with SIIR reduction had higher 3-year overall survival and disease-free survival, which was confirmed in the external cohort. Joint model analysis showed that a higher log(SII) was associated with increased mortality risk. No survival differences by SIIR were observed in the chemotherapy-only cohort. These findings suggest SIIR may help identify patients likely to benefit from neoadjuvant immunotherapy.
