The prognostic value of C-reactive protein/albumin ratio in nasopharyngeal carcinoma: a meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Bioscience reports, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 19 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
The C-reactive protein/albumin ratio (CRP/Alb ratio) has been reported to have promising prognostic value in several cancers. The current meta-analysis was conducted to better define the prognostic value of CRP/Alb ratio in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). The Web of Science, Embase, Cochrane Library databases, and PubMed were searched up to 25 February 2018 for the information on CRP/Alb ratio and outcomes of NPC. Pooled hazard ratios (HRs) and corresponding 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) were used to evaluate the association between CRP/Alb ratio and survival outcomes in NPC. A total of five studies with 5533 patients with NPC were included. Pooled results showed that high CRP/Alb ratio was associated with poor overall survival (OS) (HR = 1.51, 95% CI: 1.30-1.75,
