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: Lung cancer is among the most common types of cancers worldwide, and surgery can be a curative treatment option for this condition. However, some patients experience postoperative recurrence. Hence, predicting early postoperative recurrence to improve patient prognosis is important. This study aimed to determine the usefulness of nutritional inflammation indexes in predicting the prognosis of early recurrence after lung cancer surgery. Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted on 310 patients with primary lung cancer who underwent lung lobectomy at Jikei University Hospital from January 1, 2013, to December 31, 2017. The prognostic nutrition index (PNI), neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), and modified Glasgow prognostic score (mGPS) were calculated. The patients were classified into the high and low groups based on the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. Furthermore, the association between these indexes and postoperative recurrence was analyzed via univariate analysis and using the Kaplan-Meier method. Results: The mean age of the patients was 67.0 years, and the male-to-female ratio was 199:111. The mean observation period was 30.6 months. Patients with a low NLR and mGPS had a significantly longer 5-year recurrence-free survival than those with a high NLR and mGPS (P=0.045 and 0.02, respectively). Patients with a low PNI had a significantly higher 1-year recurrence rate than those with a high PNI (P=0.007). Conclusions: The PNI is associated with 1-year recurrence, and NLR and mGPS are considerably associated with 5-year postoperative recurrence in patients with lung cancer. Hence, these nutritional inflammatory indices can be useful in predicting postoperative recurrence.
