Clinical Significance of Glucose to Lymphocyte Ratio (GLR) as a Prognostic Marker for Patients With Pancreatic Cancer.
Article in Frontiers in oncology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 36 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Glucose metabolism and systemic inflammation have been associated with cancer aggressiveness and patient prognosis in various malignancies. This study aimed to evaluate the prognostic significance of pretreatment GLR(glucose to lymphocyte ratio) and systemic immune inflammation in patients with pancreatic cancer. We studied 360 patients with pathologically diagnosed pancreatic adenocarcinoma that was clinically unresectable. Baseline clinicopathological characteristics and laboratory investigations including fasting blood glucose, platelet count, lymphocyte count, neutrophil count, carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA199), and follow-up data were collected for further analysis. The patients were randomly divided into a training cohort (
