Neutrophil-to-mean platelet volume ratio as a new predictor for overall and cancer-specific survival in patients with localized clear cell renal cell carcinoma.

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
introductionThe present study investigated the prognostic value of neutrophil-to-mean platelet volume ratio (NMPVR) for overall (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS) in patients treated with nephrectomy for localized clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). MATERIAL AND
methodsMedical records of 344 consecutive patients who underwent partial or radical nephrectomy for M0 ccRCC were retrospectively analyzed. Based on the median NMPVR, the study population was divided into two groups: the high NMPVR group with NMPVR higher than or equal to the median, and the low NMPVR group with NMPVR lower than the median. Comparisons of baseline characteristics and laboratory and pathological findings were performed. Kaplan-Meier survival curves and Cox regression model analysis were used to assess the prognostic value of the NMPVR.
resultsPatients with higher NMPVR values were more frequently diagnosed with advanced disease, tumor necrosis and higher tumor grade. The OS and CSS were significantly shorter in patients with NMPVR ≥ 0.41 compared to patients with NMPVR < 0.41. Inclusion of NMPVR in multivariable models of OS and CSS with other confounding variables determined categorized NMPVR as an independent prognostic factor for both endpoints.
conclusionsPretreatment NMPVR ≥ 0.41 was associated with lower OS and CSS. NMPVR might be applied as a cheap and uncomplicated prognostic indicator in localized ccRCC patients treated with a primary surgical approach.
