Prognostic value of the lymphocyte-to-C-reactive protein ratio for mortality in geriatric patients with severe dysphagia requiring artificial nutrition: a retrospective secondary analysis.
Article in Frontiers in medicine, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Objective: While the lymphocyte-to-C-reactive protein ratio (LCR) is prognostic in critical illness, its role in geriatric patients with severe dysphagia requiring artificial nutrition is unclear. We evaluated its association with mortality in this population. Methods: Utilizing the Dryad Digital Repository, we conducted a retrospective secondary analysis of a single-center study enrolling 248 patients (January 2014-January 2017). The association between log Results: The secondary analysis comprised 248 patients (151 females; mean age: 83.0 ± 9.3 years). Higher log Conclusion: In geriatric patients with severe dysphagia requiring artificial nutrition, LCR shows an inverse association with mortality. While its predictive value may weaken over extended follow-up, LCR remains a robust indicator for 1-year mortality. Early LCR assessment could help identify high-risk patients, potentially guiding prompt interventions to improve outcomes.
