Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio Predicts Dialysis Timing & Prognosis in Critically Ill Patients.
Article in Health science reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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 and Aims: The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is a cost-effective indicator of inflammation, which may impact decisions regarding therapy for patients undergoing continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT), even with ongoing clinical arguments. This study aimed to examine the correlation between NLR and the prognosis of critically ill patients undergoing CRRT, specifically about mortality and morbidity. Additionally, the study sought to assess NLR's potential as a prognostic indicator for CRRT initiation. Methods: Data were retrospectively analyzed from 175 critically ill patients who received CRRT. Clinical factors and biochemical markers were compared between survivors and non-survivors at admission, before CRRT, and at 24 and 72 h post-CRRT initiation. Results: Elevated NLR levels were significantly associated with increased in-hospital mortality. Neutrophil counts showed statistical significance across all measurement points, while NLR and lymphocyte counts were significant only on the third day of CRRT ( Conclusions: The NLR shows potential as a prognostic predictor for mortality in CRRT patients. Its integration into clinical practice could enhance patient care and treatment timing, and further studies should validate its clinical utility.
