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

Objective: To explore the correlation between changes in the body fat ratio (BFR) and peripheral blood inflammatory markers according to smoking status in the adult Chinese male population. Methods: A total of 865 participants (aged 20-70 years) were included. All participants underwent a physical health examination at Xiguzhou Central Hospital between October 2015 and July 2016, including measurements of body mass index (BMI), BFR, white blood cell [WBC] count, and neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio [NLR]. Results: WBCs count and NLR were significantly higher in adult male smokers than in non-smokers ( Conclusion: WBC count and NLR of smokers with a high BFR were significantly higher than those of nonsmokers with a low BFR. It is important to provide evidence-based medical evidence for social tobacco control and to reduce BFR.
