Preoperative Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio Was a Predictor of Overall Survival in Small Renal Cell Carcinoma: An Analysis of 384 Consecutive Patients.
Article in BioMed research international, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
objectiveThe aim of this study was to investigate the prognostic significance of the preoperative neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) in small renal cell carcinoma (sRCC, ≤4 cm).
methodsThis study was approved by the review board (NO.XYFY2019-KL032-01). Between 2007 and 2016, a total of 384 consecutive patients who underwent curative surgery for sRCC at our institution were evaluated. Patients were divided into high NLR and low NLR groups by plotting the NLR receiver operating characteristic curve. The Kaplan-Meier method was utilized to graphically display survivor functions. Univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression analysis addressed time to overall survival (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS).
resultsOf the 384 patients, 264 (68.8%) were males and 120 (31.2%) were females. Median follow-up time after surgical resection was 54 months. One hundred and eighty-seven (48.7%) patients had a high NLR (≥1.97), and the remaining 197 (51.3%) had a low NLR (<1.97). Patients with high NLR were more likely to be aged compared with patients with low NLR (
conclusionsElevated preoperative NLR is an independent adverse prognostic factor for OS after surgery with curative intent for sRCC.
