Prognostic value of neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio in acute ischemic stroke after reperfusion therapy.
Synthesis in Scientific reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 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
The purpose of this study was to investigate whether baseline neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) was an independent predictor for early symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (sICH), poor functional outcome and mortality at 3 months after reperfusion therapy in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients. Using PubMed and EMBASE, we searched for literature published before January 19th, 2019. Two reviewers independently confirmed each study's eligibility, assessed risk of bias, and extracted data. One reviewer combined studies using random effects meta-analysis. 9 studies with 3651 patients were pooled in the meta-analysis. Overall, baseline NLR levels were greater in patients with poor outcome. The standardized mean difference (SMD) in the NLR levels between patients with poor functional outcome (mRS > 2) and good functional outcome (mRS ≤ 2) was 0.54 units (95% credible interval [CI] [0.38, 0.70]). Heterogeneity test showed that there were significant differences between individual studies (p = 0.02; I
