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

This study aimed to investigate the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and severity of the chronic otitis media according to middle ear risk index (MERI) scores. The NLR and middle ear risk index were calculated for 210 chronic otitis media (COM) patients retrospectively. NLR compared between COM patients and 159 participants in control group. Pearson correlation analysis was performed for NLR and MERI. In addition, The cut-off value, sensitivity, and specificity for NLR were determined in COM according to the severity of the disease with ROC analysis. The average of NLR in all patients was 1.94 ± 0.89. NLR was calculated as 2.05 ± 1.03 in the patients with COM and 1.79 ± 0.64 in the control group (
