Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio Is a Useful Marker for Predicting Histological Types of Early Gastric Cancer.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
backgroundThe indications for endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for gastric cancer are based on preoperative histological assessment; however, examination of tissue biopsy is not always reliable as only a limited portion of the lesion can be obtained. The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) are markers of inflammatory response and are potentially associated with the grade of malignancy in gastric cancer. We aimed to investigate the association between NLR and PLR and the histology of gastric cancer.
methodsThis study included 218 patients who underwent ESD for gastric cancer. The relationship between NLR/PLR and histological diagnosis was investigated.
resultsPatients with adenocarcinomas showed significantly higher NLR and PLR than those with adenomas (
conclusionThis study suggests that NLR could be a useful marker for assessing early gastric cancer.
