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: The neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) has been reported as an indicator for poor prognosis in many cancers including esophageal cancer. However, the relationship between the NLR and postoperative complications after esophageal cancer resection remains unclear. At present, enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) lacks inclusion criteria. The aim of this study is to determine whether the preoperative NLR ( Methods: This was a retrospective study on 171 patients who underwent esophagectomy at Hospital between November 2020 and November 2021(68 patients from Changhai Hospital, 65 patients from Shanghai General Hospital and 38 patients from Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University). Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to demonstrate that the Results: A Conclusion: The
