Hematologic inflammatory indexes as a prognostic factor in endometrial cancer grading and staging.
Article in Caspian journal of internal medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Background: Endometrial cancer is one the most popular types of cancer in women in the world, also a common type of cancer among Iranian females. Neutrophils to lymphocytes (NLR) and platelet to lymphocyte (PLR) ratios are two practical and available indicators in endometrial cancer. We examined their correlation in these patients and determined that they could be used as a prognostic factor in grading and staging this cancer. This study takes a practical approach and recommends a screening strategy for asymptomatic women diagnosed with cancer in its early stages. Methods: Endometrial cancer patients were included in this cross-sectional study based on histological findings. NLR is known as the proportion of neutrophils to absolute lymphocytes, while PLR is known as the proportion of platelets to lymphocytes. The NLR and PLR were evaluated and their relationship to the grade and stage of cancer. Results: PLR and NLR values were calculated, and the mean values were 4.917±5.870 and 16.019±18.963, respectively. NLR and PLR were more significant in group 2 patients. Additionally, a strong and statistically significant relationship existed between these two methods (p<0.001). For the NL and PL methods, the optimal cutting point was 3.66 and 13.26, respectively. The NL method had a specificity of 0.906 and a sensitivity of 0.564. The PL and NL zones had values of 0.697 and 0.725, respectively. Although there is no remarkable difference among these areas, the AUC of PL power is slightly better than the NL method. It demonstrates that they are capable of increasing detection power by more than 50%. Conclusion: This study concluded that PLR and NLR were identified as independent prognostic items associated with the stage and grade of endometrial cancer.
