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

Background: To date, no studies have investigated the correlation between the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and the long-term risk of mortality in individuals with both coronary heart disease (CHD) and hypertension. This study aims to evaluate the association between NLR and all-cause and cardiovascular mortality among this patient population. Methods: National Death Index (NDI) and National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES 2001-2018) were the data sources. A nonlinear association between the NLR and mortality risk was shown by restricted cubic spline (RCS) analysis. Using a weighted Cox proportional hazards model, we quantitatively evaluated the effect of NLR on mortality risk.The capacity of NLR to forecast survival was assessed by evaluating time-dependent receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. A mediating influence analysis was conducted to assess the influence of NLR on mortality through eGFR as a mediator. Results: The study involved a total of 2136 individuals. During the median follow-up interval of 76.0 months, 801 deaths were recorded. The RCS analysis showed NLR and mortality risk to have a nonlinear relationship. Two groups were established based on the participants' NLR levels: a group with high NLR (NLR > 2.65) and a group with low NLR (NLR < 2.65). After adjusting for potential confounding factors, the Cox proportional hazards model revealed that participants with an increased NLR faced a significantly higher risk of cardiovascular mortality. (HR 1.58, 95% CI 1.33-1.82, Conclusion: For patients with CHD and hypertension, an elevated NLR serves as an independent prognostic indicator for both all-cause and cardiovascular mortality.
