1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 and purposeThe neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) have been identified as useful biomarkers for assessing the inflammatory response and for predicting the prognosis of various diseases. This study aimed to determine the clinical significance and effects on prognostic prediction of NLR and PLR in acute unilateral vestibulopathy (AUV).

methodsWe retrospectively recruited 128 patients who were diagnosed with AUV from July 2016 to April 2021, and compared NLR and PLR values between these patients with AUV and age- and sex-matched healthy subjects. We also analyzed the correlations of various clinical parameters with NLR and PLR.

resultsNLR and PLR in the AUV group were 3.41±2.80 (mean±standard deviation) and 128.86±67.06, respectively, with only NLR being significantly higher than that in the control group (1.55±0.60,

conclusionsThis study found a high NLR in AUV, suggesting an acute inflammatory status in the vestibular organ. However, the usefulness of NLR and PLR as prognostic markers remains unclear.
