Prognostic role of lymphocyte to monocyte ratio in feline high-grade lymphomas.

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 lymphocyte to monocyte ratio (LMR) is a useful prognostic marker of various cancers in human and canine patients. This study aimed to determine whether this ratio could predict disease outcomes in cats with high-grade lymphoma. Medical records of 33 cats diagnosed with high-grade lymphoma were retrospectively analyzed. The prognostic influence of LMR and other clinicopathological data on the time to progression (TTP) and overall survival (OS) was studied using the Kaplan-Meier curves. The optimal cutoff value of this ratio was 3.4, which corresponded to the maximum sensitivity (1.000) and specificity (0.611) of the LMR for predicting median OS days, using receiver operating characteristic analysis. A univariate analysis demonstrated that cats with a low LMR had significant reductions in both TTP [hazard ration (HR) = 3.403, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.502 to 8.720;
