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

purposeTo evaluate the neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) in patients with nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION).

methodsWe investigated 112 subjects comprising 56 patients with NAION and 56 healthy controls at Süleyman Demirel University. Complete blood count, demographic, and clinic data from NAION patients were evaluated in this study. The NLR was calculated in all individuals and compared between the patient and control groups. Cut-off values were also determined. Then, the relationship between NLR and visual outcomes was investigated.

resultsThe cut-off value for NLR was 1.64. NLR values were significantly higher in NAION patients than in healthy subjects (

conclusionsThe NLR may be a biomarker with good sensitivity that is quick, cost effective and easily detected in serum. It can be used in clinical practice to predict a NAION patient's prognosis in terms of visual outcomes.
