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: To assess the value of combination of white matter hyperintensity (WMH) and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) in predicting short-term prognosis of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients. Patients and Methods: Three hundred and nine AIS patients were included in this prospective observational research. They were evaluated at 3-month after the onset of AIS using modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score. A mRS score of 0-2 was defined as a favourable outcome, while an mRS score of 3-6 was defined as an unfavourable outcome. Multivariate analysis was used to identify the independent associations of WMH and NLR with short-term prognosis of AIS patients, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were used to evaluate the predictive values of WMH, NLR and their combination for short-term prognosis of AIS patients, and Results: Among 309 AIS patients, 201 (65.0%) had a favorable 3-month outcome, while 108 (35.0%) had an unfavorable outcome. According to the results of multivariate analysis, WMH, NLR and on-admission NIHSS score were independently associated with unfavourable outcome of AIS after adjusting for diabetes mellitus, atrial fibrillation, TOAST subtype and LDL-cholesterol. ROC curves showed that the AUCs of WMH, NLR and their combination for predicting short-term prognosis of AIS patients were 0.760 [standard error ( Conclusion: WMH and NLR were independently associated with short-term prognosis of AIS patients, and the combination of WMH and NLR could be applied in predicting short-term prognosis of AIS patients, having a high predictive value.
