The Neutrophil to Lymphocyte Ratio in Children with Bronchial Asthma.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
The discovery of an effective airway inflammation marker which correctly identifies the condition and phenotype of asthma still constitutes a significant challenge. The determination of NLR, that is, the ratio of neutrophils to lymphocytes, would overcome this challenge. The role of the neutrophil-lymphocytic index in the diagnosis of specific types of asthma is investigated in the present study. The results of laboratory tests of 482 pediatric patients were used for the analysis. The results of 107 children without allergic disease symptoms were selected for the control group. The mean NLR in patients with asthma was 3.42 ± 4.05, and in the control group it was 1.94 ± 1.91. The difference between the NLR in allergic and non-allergic asthma was statistically significant in the allergic asthma and control groups. There was no statistically significant difference between NLR and body temperature, BMI, and gender. The value of NLR was significantly higher in the blood of patients suffering from asthma compared to the control group. The NLR was the highest among patients with allergic asthma. The use of this blood test in daily practice may facilitate the diagnosis of asthma and differentiation between asthma types, especially when the results of other tests are inconclusive.
