Correlation between neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio with Gleason score in patients with prostate cancer at Adam Malik Hospital Medan 2013 - 2015.
Article in Urology annals. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
contextA grading system was created by Donald F. Gleason for prostate cancer as prognostic indicators. The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) was found that it could be a prognostic factor in solid tumors.
aimsThis study aims to assess whether there is a correlation between NLR with the results of the Gleason score of patients with prostate adenocarcinoma biopsy at Haji Adam Malik Hospital Medan. SETTINGS AND
designA total of 121 patients underwent a prostate biopsy from early January 2013 to December 2015 at Adam Malik Hospital. SUBJECTS AND
methodsOf the 121 patients, thirty were not included in the study because of incomplete baseline data and a history of hematological abnormalities. Data from 91 patients were then taken, including age, hematologic data prebiopsy, prostate-specific antigen (PSA) on initial examination, prostate weight estimation, and Gleason scores from biopsy results. STATISTICAL ANALYSIS USED: The data are processed with SPSS version 22.
resultsA significant moderate strength correlation was found between NLR and Gleason Score (
conclusionsA significant correlation between the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio and the Gleason score was noted. Further studies are needed to confirm these findings.
