Predictive value of neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio in coronary chronic total occlusion patients.

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
backgroundThe neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) has been reported as a novel predictor for atherosclerosis and cardiovascular outcomes. This study aimed to determine the effects of NLR on long-term clinical outcomes of chronic total occlusion (CTO) patients.
methodsA total of 670 patients with CTO who met the inclusion criteria were included at the end of the follow-up period. Patients were divided into tertiles according to their baseline NLR levels at admission: low (
resultsMajor adverse cardiac events were observed in 27 patients (12.1%) in the low tertile, 40 (17.9%) in the intermediate tertile, and 61 (27.2%) in the high NLR tertile (
conclusionOur findings suggest that NLR is an inexpensive and readily available biomarker that can independently predict cardiovascular risk in patients with CTO.
