Neutrophil-Lymphocyte Ratio as a Prognostic Factor in Laryngeal Carcinoma.
Article in Indian journal of otolaryngology and head and neck surgery : official publication of the Association of Otolaryngologists of India, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Aim of this study; investigate whether neutrophils/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) could be used as a prognostic factor in larynx cancer. The correlation between preoperative peripheral blood NLR and age, gender, smoking, alcohol use, clinical stage and differentiation degree was examined. One hundered fourty-four patients in Dicle University Department of Otorhinolaryngology between the years of 2005 and 2014 were included in the study. Clinical and preoperative laboratory data of patients were screened retrospectively from archive files of otorhinolaryngology and the pathology results were screened retrospectively from archive files of pathology. The study was approved by the local ethics committee of the department and carried out in accordance with the declaration of Helsinki as amended in 2013. Statistical analyses were performed using the SPSS 15.0 software package for Windows (SPSS inc., Chicago, IL, USA). There was a significant difference between NLR and clinical stage (
