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: The systemic inflammatory response index (SIRI) has been confirmed to be associated with the prognosis of various solid tumors. The predictive value of the preoperative SIRI on the prognosis of bladder cancer (BC) patients remains unknown. This systematic review and meta-analysis investigated the association between preoperative SIRI and the prognosis of BC patients. Methods: Relevant studies were retrieved from PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, the Cochrane Library, Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wan Fang database, and VIP Chinese Science and Technology Periodicals Database from inception to April 18, 2026. The prognostic value of preoperative SIRI for BC patients was assessed using pooled hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Subgroup analyses were performed to investigate potential sources of heterogeneity, and sensitivity analyses were conducted to assess the robustness of the findings. Results: Fourteen studies comprising 4,098 patients were included. An elevated SIRI was significantly associated with poorer overall survival (OS; HR = 2.20, 95% CI = 1.61-3.01), recurrence-free survival (RFS; HR = 2.13, 95% CI = 1.74-2.61), and progression-free survival (PFS; HR = 4.06, 95% CI = 2.67-6.15) in BC patients. Conclusion: SIRI is a predictor of the survival, recurrence and disease progression in BC patients. Further large-scale prospective studies are required to confirm these findings.
