1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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 aim of the study was to evaluate pretreatment neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) as prognostic factors for predicting clinical outcomes after definitive concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) for cervical cancer. The cases were divided into two groups based on the values of NLR and PLR: High NLR-PLR (high value in both NLR and PLR) and Low NLR-PLR (low value in either NLR or PLR). The relationships between survival outcomes and the pretreatment NLR-PLR were investigated. Of the 148 patients enrolled in the study, 30 patients died during the median follow-up of 75 months. Based on receiver operating curves, NLR and PLR cut-off values for survival analysis were 2.34 and 148.89. The 10-year overall survival and disease-free survival rates for high NLR-PLR vs. low NLR-PLR were 63.6% vs. 86.2% (
