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 identify risk factors for bacterial intra-abdominal infections (IAIs) after orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) and establish a nomogram prediction model based on preoperative neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and preoperative prothrombin time-international normalized ratio (PT-INR)-to-albumin ratio (PTAR). Patients and Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 261 patients who received OLT between January 2020 and April 2024 in Beijing Friendship Hospital. Independent risk factors for bacterial IAIs within 30 days postoperatively were identified by logical regression analysis. The area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC) was calculated to evaluate the predictive performance of NLR and PTAR as well as the nomogram model based on them. Hepatic function was evaluated using the Child-Turcotte-Pugh (CTP) score and the Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) score. Results: Fifty patients (19.2%, 50/261) developed postoperative bacterial IAIs. The majority of the 66 isolated strains were gram-negative (63.6%). Most infections (74.0%, 37/50) occurred within two weeks postoperatively. Multivariate logistic regression analysis identified preoperative NLR, preoperative PTAR, acute physiology and chronic health evaluation II (APACHE II) score, and biliary leakage as independent risk factors. A nomogram-based prediction model was constructed utilizing the identified independent risk factors. Internal validation was conducted through the bootstrap method. The Hosmer-Lemeshow test indicated no significant deviation from the goodness-of-fit (χ Conclusion: Both the preoperative NLR and the preoperative PTAR are independent risk factors for IAIs within 30 days after OLT. The nomogram model based on NLR and PTAR can effectively predict the occurrence of IAIs after OLT.
