As a new inflammatory marker for familial Mediterranean fever: neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio.
Article in Inflammation, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 66 papers.
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
Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF), which is an autosomal recessive disease, is characterised by recurrent febrile episodes in association with peritonitis, pleuritis and arthritis and has ongoing subclinical inflammation during attack-free period. In this study, we aimed to investigate the relationship between FMF with neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), which is determined in many chronic inflammations as a new potential inflammatory mediator. We included 62 patients and 41 healthy subjects who were similar in terms of age and sex. We found that the NLR values of the patients were significantly higher than those of the control group, and C-reactive protein values were correlated with NLR. Another finding was the NLR values were significantly higher in the FMF patient with M694V mutation than with other mutations. As a result, NLR might be used in the FMF patient as an indicator of the subclinical inflammation, and the FMF patients with M694V mutation should be followed up closely because of increased subclinical inflammation risk.
