Neutrophil-To-Lymphocyte Ratio as a Prognostic Indicator in Thyroid Cancer.
Synthesis in Cancer control : journal of the Moffitt Cancer Center. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
objectiveIn this study, we aimed to perform a comprehensive analysis to assess the prognostic value of neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) levels in patients diagnosed with thyroid cancer.
methodsWe systematically searched multiple databases, including PubMed, the Cochrane Library, EMBASE, and Google Scholar, up until March 30, 2023, to identify relevant articles. The clinical outcomes evaluated in this study included overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), disease-free survival (DFS), and cause-specific survival (CSS).
resultsThis analysis includes 21 articles with 5187 patients in total. The pooled results revealed that patients with high NLR levels had significantly poorer OS (HR: 2.578, 95% CI: 2.050-3.242,
conclusionThe baseline NLR levels were useful predictors of outcomes in patients with thyroid cancer.
