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
objectivesBone morphogenetic protein-4 (BMP4) has been proved to be an important regulatory factor for the pathological process of atherosclerosis (AS). However, there are few related clinical studies. This study aims to investigate the levels of plasma BMP4 in patients suffering from the arterial occlusive diseases (ACD) characterized by AS, and further to test the relationship between BMP4 and inflammation and vascular injury.
methodsA total of 38 ACD patients (the ACD group) and 38 healthy people for the physical examination (the control group) were enrolled. The plasma in each subject from both groups was obtained to test the levels of BMP4, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), IL-10, and vascular endothelial cadherin (VE-cadherin), and the relationship between BMP4 and the detected indicators above were further analyzed.
resultsCompared with the control group, the patients in the ACD group displayed significant elevations in the neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio [NLR, 1.63 (1.26, 1.91) vs 3.43 (2.16, 6.61)] and platelet to lymphocyte ratio [PLR, 6.37 (5.26, 7.74) vs 15.79 (7.97, 20.53)], while decrease in the lymphocyte to monocyte ratio [LMR, 5.67 (4.41, 7.14) vs 3.43 (2.07, 3.74)] (all
conclusionsAfter ACD occurrence, the patients' plasma concentrations of BMP4 would be upregulated, which may serve as a candidate to indicate the levels of inflammation and vascular injury.
