Peripheral blood inflammatory biomarkers neutrophil/ lymphocyte ratio, platelet/lymphocyte ratio and systemic immune-inflammation index/albumin ratio predict prognosis and efficacy in non-small cell lung cancer patients receiving immunotherapy and opioids.

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
objectiveThe study aimed to assess the value of pretreatment peripheral blood neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet/lymphocyte ratio (PLR) and systemic immune-inflammation index/albumin ratio (SII/ALB) for predicting immunotherapy prognosis and efficacy in Non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) treated with Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) and opioids.
methodsA total of 78 NSCLC patients received ICIs and opioids were retrospectively collected. The optimal cut-off values were determined by receiver operating characteristic curves. The univariate and multivariate analysis investigated the effects of NLR, PLR, and SII/ALB on patients prognosis.
resultsNLR and PLR had predictive value of efficacy. SII/ALB > 17.79 was an independent risk factor for worse outcomes.
conclusionPLR and SII/ALB have predictive value of efficacy, but NLR was not. SII/ALB > 17.79 suggests a poor prognosis following immunotherapy in NSCLC patients receiving ICIs and opioids.
