[Elevated neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio and delayed graft function].
Observational study in Revista medica del Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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: Delayed graft function (DGF) is a significant complication in kidney transplantation, adversely affecting graft and recipient survival. Therefore, it is important to establish tools that help predict this condition. The elevation of the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) has been studied as a predictor of DGF, with the premise that its increase is associated with systemic inflammation and, consequently, DGF. Objective: To analyze the association between an elevated NLR in the preoperative period and delayed graft function in kidney transplant recipients. Materials and methods: A prospective, observational, analytical, and longitudinal study. The sample included all patients admitted to the Nephrology Transplant Service at Hospital de Especialidades No. 1, Centro Médico Nacional Bajío, in 2023. Results: We found that an NLR greater than 3.5 in the preoperative period of patients undergoing kidney transplantation had 80% specificity and 28% sensitivity, compared to patients with an NLR of 3.5 or lower. Conclusions: There is no association between an elevated NLR in the preoperative period and delayed kidney graft function after transplantation. However, it may be associated with other risk factors, as demonstrated in the multivariate analysis, which revealed that donor acute kidney injury increased the likelihood of developing DGF by almost 200%.
