Preoperative lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio is useful for stratifying the prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma patients with a low Cancer of the Liver Italian Program score undergoing curative resection.

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
BACKGROUND AND
aimAlthough the Cancer of the Liver Italian Program (CLIP) score is useful for prognostication of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), a previous study has reported that the CLIP score was unable to stratify the postoperative outcomes of HCC patients in whom the score was low (0-1). Recent studies have reported that the preoperative lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (LMR) is useful for prognostication of patients with various cancer.
methodsWe reviewed 329 HCC patients with a low CLIP score (0-1) undergoing curative resection. This study had the approval of the Institutional Review Board (28068). Multivariate analyses were carried out to detect clinical factors correlating with overall survival (OS). Kaplan-Meier analysis and the log-rank test were used for comparison of OS.
resultsMultivariate analysis showed that LMR (<4.35/≥4.35) was significantly associated with OS (hazard ratio [HR], 2.022; 95% CI, 1.141-3.583;
conclusionPreoperative LMR is useful for stratifying the prognosis of HCC patients with a low CLIP score (0-1) undergoing curative resection.
