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: The purpose of this review was to examine the association between neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) and mortality rates in patients with acute pulmonary embolism (PE). Methods: PubMed Central, Scopus, Web of Science, and Embase were searched for studies reporting the association between NLR and PLR with mortality up to March 17 Results: Fifteen studies were included. Meta-analysis showed that NLR was a significant predictor of mortality in patients with PE (OR: 1.42 95% CI: 1.26, 1.61 I Conclusion: Current evidence from retrospective studies shows that NLR can independently predict mortality in acute PE. Data on PLR was limited and failed to indicate an independent role in the prognosis of PE patients.
