The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio: A potential predictor of poor prognosis in adult patients with trauma and traumatic brain injury.
Article in Frontiers in surgery, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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: This study aimed to determine the prognostic impact of the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) in critically ill trauma patients. Methods: This retrospective study involved adult trauma patients from 335 intensive care units (ICUs) at 208 hospitals stored in the eICU database. The primary outcome was ICU mortality. The lengths of ICU and hospital stay were calculated as the secondary outcomes. The multivariable logistic regression model was used to identify independent predictors of mortality. To identify the effect of the NLR on survival, a 15-day survival curve was used. Results: A total of 3,865 eligible subjects were enrolled in the study. Univariate analysis showed that patients in the group with a higher NLR were more likely to receive aggressive methods of care delivery: mechanical ventilation, vasopressor, and antibiotics ( Conclusion: A high NLR is associated with a poor prognosis in trauma patients, even worse in patients with TBI. An NLR > 7.44 is an independent risk factor for death in patients with TBI.
