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

objectivesThe role of the immune system in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma is controversial. The aim of our study was to analyze full blood counts and distribution of T cell subsets in patients affected by laryngeal squamous cell cancer (LSCC) and their association with clinical variables and survival. STUDY

designRetrospective study.

methodsWe analyzed the levels of platelets, lymphocytes, and neutrophils, as well as the CD4

resultsSixty-five LSCC patients and 48 controls were enrolled. In LSCC patients, neutrophils were higher than in the healthy group (

conclusionOur data demonstrate that NLR and PLR are significantly increased in LSCC. Lower CD4 LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: 4.
