Lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio is a short-term predictive marker of ulcerative colitis after induction of advanced therapy.

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
Advanced therapies for patients with mild-to-severe ulcerative colitis (UC) may result in treatment failure. We examined whether the lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (L/M ratio) could predict the failure of advanced therapies. This retrospective, observational, cohort study included 73 patients who were treated with advanced therapies at the Hamamatsu University School of Medicine (Shizuoka, Japan) between February 2011 and November 2020. The patients were divided into the non-failure and failure groups, and their leukocyte counts and ratios before induction were examined. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to identify the prognostic factors. Advanced therapies failed within 3 months in 15 (20.5%) patients. Only the L/M ratio was significantly lower in the failure group than in the non-failure group (
