Assessing the Prognostic Value of the Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio in Stage I Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer with Complete Resection.
Article in Canadian respiratory journal, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Purpose: To explore the prognostic value of the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) in stage I non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) undergoing surgery. Results: NLR was associated with histological type and gender, and patients with an elevated NLR have poor overall survival (OS). Lymphovascular invasion, red blood cell distribution width-standard deviation (RDW-SD), and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) were independent prognostic factors for progression-free survival (PFS) in postoperative patients with stage I NSCLC, while NLR, RDW-SD, and CEA were independent risk factors for OS. Both PFS and OS were shorter in the low-risk group than in the medium-risk and high-risk groups. Conclusions: NLR, RDW-SD, CEA, and lymphovascular invasion are independent risk factors for postoperative prognosis in patients with stage I NSCLC, and the combination has a predictive value.
