Elevated Baseline Neutrophil Count Correlates with Worse Outcomes in Patients with Muscle-Invasive Bladder Cancer Treated with Chemoradiation.
Article in Cancers, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundThe role of inflammation in the development and prognosis of bladder cancer (BC) is now established. We evaluated the significance of neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and neutrophil count (PNN) in patients with localized BC treated with chemoradiation.
methodsClinical characteristics and baseline biological data were retrospectively collected. We tested the association between NLR, PNN, and overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS).
resultsOne hundred and ninety-four patients were included. Median PNN was 4000.0/mm
conclusionsElevated PNN at baseline was associated with worse OS and PFS. NLR was not an independent prognostic factor.
