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
backgroundThe systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) is considered a promising inflammatory index for predicting adverse outcomes in cardiovascular diseases. However, its prognostic value in patients undergoing heart valve surgery remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the predictive significance of preoperative SII for early postoperative complications and 30-day mortality.
methodsThis was a retrospective, single-center cohort study conducted at the National Cardiovascular Center Harapan Kita in Jakarta, Indonesia, a tertiary cardiac surgery referral hospital. It included adults (> 18 years) who underwent elective aortic, mitral, or combined valve surgery between January 2020 and December 2024. After applying exclusion criteria, 1347 patients were stratified by SII into low (< 551 × 10
resultsHigh preoperative SII was significantly associated with acute kidney injury (AKI) (p = 0.002), prolonged mechanical ventilation (p = 0.039), extended total hospital length of stay (LOS-H) (p = 0.004), and 30-day mortality (p = 0.026). Multivariate logistic regression identified SII (OR 2.169; 95% CI 1.600-2.941; p < 0.001) as independent predictor of adverse postoperative outcomes. When analyzed as a continuous variable, preoperative SII remained independently associated with adverse postoperative outcomes (adjusted OR per 100-unit increase 1.196; 95% CI 1.148-1.245; p < 0.001). Subgroup analysis revealed the highest predictive value in patients undergoing aortic valve surgery, with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.797 (95% CI 0.728-0.866).
conclusionsElevated preoperative SII is independently associated with an increased risk of early postoperative complications and 30-day mortality in patients undergoing heart valve surgery. As a simple and cost-effective inflammatory index, SII may aid in preoperative risk stratification and support more personalized perioperative care.
