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
Introduction: Non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) is one of the most commonly diagnosed urogenital types of cancer with a relatively favourable prognosis. Cystoscopy stands as the most significant diagnostic and monitoring procedure, however more accessible methods are needed for diagnosis and follow-up. Material and methods: A total of 285 pa-- tients with NMIBC were enrolled in this prospective study. Complete blood count (CBC) biomarkers and nutritional risk scores were evaluated for predicting cancer recurrence or progression after radical transurethral resection of bladder tumour (TURB). Additionally, the correlation between CBC biomarkers and European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) risk scores was performed. A final study group with complete follow-up and dataset, comprised of 183. Results: After a 3-month follow-up period, 104 subjects experienced cancer recurrence or progression. A group of 79 patients were tumour free. The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) showed the highest area under the curve of 0.618 (95% CI: 0.536-0.699) with Conclusions: Complete blood count biomarkers can predict recurrence or progression of NMIBC after TURB, yet nutritional risk scores have demonstrated inadequate predictive value. Complete blood count biomarkers increase prognostic properties of EORTC risk score.
