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

To evaluate Neutrophil Lymphocyte ratio (NLR) as a predictor of disease severity in Nasal Polyposis and Allergic Fungal Rhinosinusitis (AFRS). This was a prospective non-randomized interventional study. Disease severity was graded based on endoscopic and CT scoring. Patients were given pre-operative oral steroids for two weeks and taken up for surgery. The pre-treatment neutrophil lymphocyte ratios were calculated from the differential leucocyte counts and compared with the disease severity and post-operative values. In the interventional arms, the disease severity correlated with the NLR. The mean pre-treatment NLR showed a statistically significant change after the intervention at eight weeks. The NLR normalized in patients with nasal polyposis and continued to be higher in patients with AFRS. NLR correlated to the disease severity and showed a linear correlation with the extent of the disease. NLR could be a potential cost-effective marker for disease severity and prognostication.
