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

One of the crucial triggers of allergic diseases is an inflammatory reaction and neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is one of the systemic inflammation biomarkers. Our review aimed to evaluate role of NLR in predicting severity and comorbidities of allergic rhinitis (AR). We systematically searched Scopus, Web of Science, and PubMed to find relevant studies. Standardized mean difference (SMD) with a 95% confidence interval (CI) was reported. Due to the high levels of heterogeneity, the random-effects model was used to generate pooled effects. Eleven articles were included in the systematic review, among which ten were included in meta-analysis including 1122 healthy controls and 1423 patients with AR. We found that patients with AR had a significantly higher level of NLR than healthy controls (SMD = 0.19, 95%CI = 0.03-0.36, Supplementary Information: The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s12070-023-04148-8.
