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: This study was conducted to determine the value of inflammatory markers and surgical intervention for predicting the occurrence of postoperative pneumonia (POP) in patients undergoing proximal femoral nail antirotation (PFNA) surgery for femoral intertrochanteric fracture (FIF). Methods: A retrospective cohort analysis was conducted on patients with FIF who underwent PFNA surgery at The First People's Hospital of Jiande from January 2021 to December 2024. Systematically documented variables included preoperative and postoperative inflammatory biomarker levels, demographic characteristics, surgical approach and duration, and postoperative outcomes. The prognostic capacity of inflammatory markers for predicting POP was evaluated through a propensity score-matched comparative analysis framework. Results: Among 335 patients, 53 (15.8 %) had POP. After matching, 193 patients (POP group: n = 49; non-POP group: n = 144) were included in the analysis. The median (25th percentile, 75th percentile) postoperative systemic immune-inflammation index and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) were significantly higher in the POP group than in the non-POP group (1832.00 [1388.00, 3369.67] vs. 1261.76 [936.44, 1893.94], respectively P < 0.001, and 13.43 [10.85, 16.67] vs. 7.89 [5.32, 11.00], respectively, P < 0.001). Multivariate analysis showed that postoperative NLR was an independent predictor of POP (area under the receiver operating characteristic curve 0.8396, P < 0.001). Conclusion: Postoperative NLR may predict POP among patients undergoing PFNA surgery for FIF. However, the clinical utility and optimal thresholds require validation in future prospective studies.
