Nomogram Including Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio for the Prediction of Stroke-Associated Infections.
Article in Frontiers in neurology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
Stroke has been a leading cause of mortality in China. Stroke-associated infections (SAI) are common complications, occurring in 5-65% of stroke patients. Faced with SAI, clinicians often are placed in a considerable dilemma. On the one hand, preventive overuse of antibiotics will lead to the emergence of drug-resistant bacteria. On the other hand, treatment delay of the infection will likely result in a poor outcome. Therefore, it is necessary to determine the early predictors of post-stroke infection to screen patients with high infection risk for early clinical intervention, thereby promoting and improving survival rates. We assessed 257 patients with acute ischemic stroke from a consecutive retrospective cohort. Data of these patients were obtained from three hospitals (TongJi Hospital and its two branches) between August 2018 and June 2019. Of these patients, 59 (23.0%) developed SAI. SAI was defined according to the modified Centers for Disease Control and Prevention criteria. There were 38 patients (64.4%) who developed pneumonia, 11 with urinary tract infections (18.6%), and 10 with other infections (16.9%). We found that a higher neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] = 1.16; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.01-1.33;
