Neutrophil Lymphocyte Ratio to Albumin Ratio and White Blood Cell to Hemoglobin Ratio as Prognostic Markers for Hepatocellular Carcinoma Patients Who Underwent Curative Hepatectomy.
Article in International journal of general 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
purposeInflammation factors affect the prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, it is not clear if the preoperative neutrophil lymphocyte ratio to albumin ratio (NLRAR) and white blood cell to hemoglobin ratio (WHR) affect the prognosis of HCC post curative hepatectomy. We assessed the prognostic values of NLRAR and WHR in patients suffering from HCC who underwent curative resection. MATERIALS AND
methodsA total of 169 eligible HCC cases were reviewed. The optimal cut-off values for NLRAR and WHR were selected using the X-tile software. The overall survival (OS) rate was assessed following the Kaplan-Meier analysis method. The Log rank test and Cox proportional hazard regression model were also used to analyze the data. The prognostic values of NLRAR and WHR were calculated by analyzing the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC). The decision curve analysis (DCA) was performed for clinical benefits.
resultsThe OS rate recorded for the high NLRAR group was poorer than the OS rate recorded for the low NLRAR group. Similar trends were observed for WHR. The NLRAR and WHR were the independent predictors of OS. The results were based on the multivariate Cox analyses method. Results obtained by analyzing the subgroups revealed that NLRAR and WHR could be used for the prognosis of HCC in tumor stage I-patients. The NLRAR-WHR scoring system (NWS) could be used to classify HCC patients into two cohorts with different prognoses. This scoring system was more efficient than NLRAR or WHR in predicting OS.
conclusionThe preoperative NLRAR and WHR are effective prognostic indicators for HCC in patients who underwent curative hepatectomy.
