The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio is associated with intubation in pediatric anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis: A retrospective study.
Article in Journal of neuroimmunology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Background The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) may predict poor outcomes in adult anti-NMDAR encephalitis (NMDARE). The association of NLR with outcomes in pediatric NMDARE was examined. Methods Pediatric NMDARE patients (N = 36) were retrospectively studied. Results High NLR (>6) had a higher proportion of tumors (43% versus 7%) and higher intubation rates (100% versus 38%, p = 0.008). Multivariate analyses showed that high NLR did not correlate with one-year outcomes, inpatient length of stay (LOS), or with tumor, but was associated with intubation and rehabilitation LOS. Conclusion NLR is associated with intubation and rehabilitation LOS. Further investigation is needed for prognostic biomarkers in NMDARE.
