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
Aim: The available evidence for predicting length of stay in acute psychiatric hospitals includes demographics, diagnosis, and treatment variables. This study aimed to evaluate the association between neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and length of hospital stay in an acute psychiatric hospital. Methods: A total of 116 patients who were admitted to an acute psychiatric ward at Urawa Neuropsychiatric Sanatorium (Saitama, Japan) from August 2022 to December 2022 were eligible for this study. Laboratory data of lymphocytes and neutrophils were assessed on the first day of admission and NLR was calculated based on the data. Participants were categorized into two groups, high NLR and low NLR, which were set as predictor variables, as well as using NLR as a continuous variable. Multiple linear regression was performed to determine the association between NLR and length of hospital stay, adjusting for confounding factors. Results: A total of 90 participants were included in this study. The association of NLR as a continuous variable and length of hospital stay was not significant. When we categorized participants into high- and low-NLR groups, the association was significant even after adjusting by covariates ( Conclusion: Categorized NLR was positively associated with the length of hospital stay in patients admitted to an acute psychiatric hospital. Categorized NLR may predict the length of hospital stay for patients who are admitted to an acute psychiatric hospital.
