Association between lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio and stroke-associated pneumonia: a retrospective cohort study.
Article in PeerJ, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Background: Stroke-associated pneumonia (SAP) is a common complication of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) and is associated with increased mortality and prolonged hospital stays. The lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (LMR) is a novel inflammatory marker that has been shown to be associated with various diseases. However, the relationship between the LMR and SAP in patients with AIS remains unclear. Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted on 1,063 patients with AIS admitted to our hospital within 72 hours of symptom onset. Patients were divided into two groups: the SAP group ( Result: The incidence of SAP was 9.31%. We found that the LMR was significantly lower in the SAP group than in the non-SAP group (2.46 ± 1.44 Conclusion: Our study suggests that the LMR is an independent predictor of SAP in patients with AIS, particularly when the LMR is less than 4. The LMR may serve as a promising biomarker for the early identification of patients with AIS at a high risk of SAP.
