The Association of Neutrophil-Lymphocyte Ratio with Venous Thromboembolism: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Synthesis in Clinical and applied thrombosis/hemostasis : official journal of the International Academy of Clinical and Applied Thrombosis/Hemostasis. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
The neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio(NLR) has been used for diagnosing venous thromboembolism (VTE). We aimed to assess the accuracy of NLR to diagnose VTE by meta-analysis. Systematic electronic searches were conducted June 2, 2021 in PubMed, Embase(Ovid), and Cochrane Library. The search did not have any language or time restriction applied. Our search strategy was based on keywords in combination with both medical subject headings (MeSH) terms and text words. The diagnostic odds ratio, summary receiver operating characteristics, sensitivity, specificity, positive likelihood ratio, and negative likelihood ratio were estimated. 10 articles with 1513 VTE participants and 2593 control participants were included for quantitative synthesis. The pooled values were as follows: sensitivity = 0.68(95% CI 0.45-0.84), specificity = 0.73(95% CI 0.6-0.83), positive likelihood ratio = 2.5(95% CI 1.8-3.4), negative likelihood ratio = 0.44(95% CI 0.26-0.75), diagnostic odds ratio = 6(95% CI 3-11), and SROC = 0.76(95% CI: 0.73-0.8). NLR could be diagnostic factor for the detection of potential VTE, the accuracy thereof in the current meta-analysis exhibited moderate accuracy for diagnosing VTE. Furthermore, further large cohort studies are needed to determine optimal cut-off values of NLR.
