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

Background: This study aimed to investigate the value of perioperative lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (LMR) changes in predicting postoperative survival among patients undergoing radical gastrectomy, and explore whether the combination of preoperative carbohydrate antigen 199 (CA199) and LMR changes would further improve the prognostic accuracy. Methods: A total of 456 patients who underwent radical gastrectomy at the Affiliated Hospital of Nantong University were included as the training set, and 210 patients from the Nantong Tumor Hospital were enrolled as the validation set. The patients' peripheral complete blood counts, including lymphocytes, monocytes, and tumor marker CA199 level, were checked regularly in all patients 1 week before and after radical gastrectomy by two technicians who were blinded to their clinical characteristics. The LMR was calculated by dividing the lymphocyte count by the monocyte count in the peripheral blood. Results: In the training and validation sets, the prognostic predictive ability of CA199 and Conclusions:
