Predictive role of neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio on upstaging of organ-confined invasive urothelial bladder cancer to non-organ-confined disease.

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
objectiveThe aim of this study is to examine the usefulness of preoperative neutrophile-to-lymphocyte ratio, platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio, and lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratios to predict pathological upstaging of invasive bladder cancer who underwent radical cystectomy. MATERIAL AND
methodsA total of 126 patients who underwent radical cystectomy at our clinic between January 2006 and March 2015 were retrospectively analysed. One hundred and twelve patients with organ-confined invasive bladder tumors (T2) detected at histopathological examination of transuretral resection material were included in the study. Upstaging was seen at histopathological examination of radical cystectomy specimens of 42 patients. We compared preoperative neutrophile-to-lymphocyte ratio, platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio, lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio between upstaged and not-upstaged groups.
resultsThere were no statistically significant correlation between age, time to radical cystectomy, gender, lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio, platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio ratios and carcinoma in situ in upstaged and non-upstaged groups. Statistical analyses showed that preoperative neutrophile-to-lymphocyte ratio was higher in upstaged patients (p=0.009). In multivariate analysis preoperative neutrophile-to-lymphocyte ratio and positive surgical margin were significantly higher in upstaged group.
conclusionIn organ-confined muscle invasive bladder cancer neutrophile-to-lymphocyte ratio seems to be an acceptable parameter to predict locally advanced disease.
