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
Purpose: This research aims to investigate correlations between the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte*platelet (NLPR) ratio combined with lipid parameters and coronary artery disease (CAD), and to assess the value of these indicators in predicting the severity of coronary atherosclerosis in the Chinese population. Patients and methods: This study included 474 Chinese patients aged 28 to 88 years who underwent coronary angiography (CAG). Patients were grouped by NLPR, residual cholesterol (RC), and low-density lipoprotein/high-density lipoprotein (LDL/HDL) levels. CAD was determined via CAG and defined as stenosis of ≥50% in at least one major coronary artery. The Gensini score was calculated to assess the severity of coronary atherosclerosis. Results: Patients with different NLPR levels showed differences in age (P<0.001), gender (P=0.002), hypertension (P<0.001), hyperlipidemia (P=0.003), Gensini scores (P=0.002), and severe stenosis (P<0.001). Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that NLPR was independently correlated with severe stenosis (OR, 1.275; 95% CI, 1.066 to 1.525; P=0.008). After adjusting for variables, individuals with elevated LDL/HDL alone, elevated NLPR alone, and both elevated LDL/HDL and NLPR demonstrated progressively increased risks of severe stenosis relative to those with low levels of LDL/HDL and NLPR. Furthermore, only individuals with both elevated RC and NLPR had a significantly higher risk of severe stenosis compared to those with lower RC and NLPR. NLPR-RC and NLPR-LDL/HDL, as complex indexes combining NLPR and lipid parameters, were independently associated with severe stenosis. The areas under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve for NLPR, NLPR-RC, and NLPR-LDL/HDL were 0.630, 0.643, and 0.658, respectively. Conclusion: NLPR, NLPR-RC, and NLPR-LDL/HDL are independently associated with an increased risk of severe coronary artery stenosis. Compared with NLPR, the composite indicators, due to their higher sensitivity, might be applicable for screening severe coronary artery stenosis. However, these composite indicators still require prospective and multi-center validation before they can be widely applied.
