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

Background: Pleural mesothelioma (PM) is an aggressive malignancy with poor prognosis, and reliable prognostic biomarkers are needed to better inform clinical management. We retrospectively investigated the prognostic value of the Glasgow prognostic score (GPS), prognostic nutritional index (PNI), neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), body mass index (BMI), and tumor glucose metabolism measured by Methods: We retrospectively reviewed patients with PM treated with first-line platinum-pemetrexed chemotherapy at our institution (April 2007-December 2023; data cutoff, December 2024) and evaluated the prognostic value of these markers and baseline FDG-PET parameters. Results: Among 79 patients diagnosed with PM, 51 who received first-line platinum-based chemotherapy with pemetrexed were analyzed. The median age was 69 (range, 42-81) years, 78% were male, and 67% had epithelioid histology. The objective response rate (ORR) was 27.5% [95% confidence interval (CI), 17.1-40.9%], and the disease control rate (DCR) was 72.5% (95% CI, 59.1-82.9%). The median progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were 5.8 (95% CI, 3.4-7.8) and 21.8 (95% CI, 13.4-33.5) months, respectively. Low PNI (≤45) was significantly associated with shorter OS than high PNI (>45) (18.8 Conclusions: Low PNI and high SUV
