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

It is generally believed that there is correlation between cancer prognosis and pretreatment PLR and NLR. However, there are limited data about their role in diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL). This study aims to determine the prognostic value of pretreatment PLR and NLR for patients who have DLBCL. The associations between clinical characteristics and NLR and PLR were evaluated among 182 DLBCL patients from January 2005 to June 2016. The optimal cutoff values for high PLR (
