The prognostic and clinical value of neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) in ovarian cancer: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Article in Journal of medical biochemistry, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
Background: Ovarian cancer (OC) is a major gynecological malignancy with varying prognosis. The Neutrophil-toLymphocyte Ratio (NLR) has been proposed as a potential prognostic biomarker. This study aimed to evaluate the prognostic and clinical value of NLR in OC. Methods: A systematic review and meta-analysis were performed following PRISMA guidelines, including studies that evaluated the association between NLR and survival outcomes in OC patients. Search was performed in PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library databases. Quality assessment was done using Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS). Heterogeneity was assessed, and pooled hazard ratios (HRs) were calculated using fixed or random-effects models as appropriate.
