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
introductionThe aim of this study is to explore the relationship of neutrophil, platelet and eosinophil-to-lymphocyte ratios and red blood cell distribution width values with nasal polyposis, and whether this could be a predictive parameter that can be used for the severity and recurrence risk of the disease.
methodNeutrophil/lymphocyte, platelet/lymphocyte, eosinophil/lymphocyte ratios and red blood cell distribution width values were compared between nasal polyposis patients who were reviewed in a retrospective manner and the control group comparable for age and sex. Moreover, the nasal polyposis group was grouped for nasal polyposis severity and recurrence, and these subgroups were statistically compared, too.
resultsWhen the nasal polyposis patient group and the control group are compared, no statistically significant difference was found between two groups except for eosinophil/lymphocyte ratio. While only the difference between nasal polyposis severity and eosinophil/lymphocyte ratio is statistically significant, there was no parameter with statistically significant difference for recurrence.
conclusionWe think that caution should be exercised when using these new hematological parameters which can be affected by many factors for the presence, severity and recurrence risk of nasal polyposis, and literature data should be proven by conducting different and objective studies on this subject.
