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

backgroundPeptic ulcer perforation (PUP) is a life-threatening complication with high mortality caused by the leakage of gastric contents into the peritoneal cavity, leading to peritonitis. Systemic inflammatory indices, such as the C-reactive protein (CRP)/lymphocyte ratio, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), and multi-inflammatory indices (MII), reflect inflammation severity. This study aimed to investigate the predictive value of the CRP/Lymphocyte ratio, NLR, platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), systemic immune-inflammation index (SII), and MII indices for estimating morbidity and mortality in patients undergoing surgery for PUP.

methodsThis retrospective analysis included 319 patients who underwent surgery for PUP between October 2012 and January 2025. Pre-operative inflammatory indices were calculated from laboratory data and correlated with post-operative complications, length of hospital stay, and mortality.

resultsHigher CRP/Lymphocyte ratio, PLR, MII-1, MII-2, and MII-3 values were associated with fatal outcomes (p<0.05). The MII-2 and MII-3 indices best predicted post-operative complications with superior area under the curve (AUC) values (AUC: 0.655, 0.661, respectively) (p<0.001). All analyzed markers were significantly elevated in patients with prolonged hospitalization. Notably, the MII-2 index and CRP/lymphocyte ratio showed balanced sensitivity and high specificity for predicting mortality (AUC: 0.780, 0.787, respectively) (p<0.001).

conclusionThe MII-2 index and CRP-to-lymphocyte ratio are strong predictors of mortality in PUP patients, whereas the MII-2 and MII-3 indices are most effective for predicting complications. Incorporating these easily calculated indices into clinical practice can enhance risk stratification and decision-making.
