Characterization of blood inflammatory markers in patients with non-small cell lung cancer.
Article in International journal of clinical and experimental pathology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
objectiveTo investigate the differences and correlation between blood inflammatory indexes such as monocytes (MONO), lymphocytes (LYM), haemoglobin (HGB), neutrophils (NEU), platelets (PLT), ultrasensitive C-reactive protein, albumin and platelet/lymphocyte ratio (PLR), NEU/LYM ratio (NLR), MONO/LYM ratio (MLR) and clinicopathologic characteristics of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
methods187 patients with NSCLC who were first diagnosed in 2017-2023 and 102 with healthy check-ups during the same period (control group) were retrospectively selected as study subjects to compare the differences in inflammatory indexes between the two groups and the levels of inflammatory indexes in NSCLC patients with different clinicopathologic characteristics.
resultsCorrelation analysis between blood inflammatory indexes and clinicopathologic features in NSCLC group showed that C-reactive protein, CAR, and PLR values were different in different pathologic types (P<0.05). The values of NEU, MONO, C-reactive protein, MLR, NLR, CAR and albumin were different among various degrees of differentiation (P<0.05). There were differences in LYM, albumin, MLR, NLR, CAR, and C-reactive protein among M stage subgroups (P<0.05). Analysis of the efficacy of early diagnosis of non-small cell lung cancer has been shown, the AUC of NLR was 0.796, sensitivity of 0.679, specificity of 0.176, 95% CI=0.743-0.849 (P<0.001). The AUC of albumin was 0.977, the sensitivity was 0.941, the specificity was 0.941, and 95% CI was 0.959-0.994 (P<0.001).
conclusionBlood inflammatory indexes are closely associated with NSCLC and vary according to pathologic features. Blood inflammatory indices can predict tumor pathologic staging and guide treatment for patients with NSCLC.
