Association of monocyte and lymphocyte ratio with risk of abdominal aortic calcification.
Article in PloS one, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectivesThe aim of the study was to evaluate the relationship between monocyte and lymphocyte ratio (MLR) with severe AAC.
methodsThis cross-sectional study enrolled 3041 patients with AAC from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2013-2014. Abdominal aortic calcification detected with dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry was quantified using the Kauppila score system. We measured white blood cell, neutrophil, lymphocyte counts, monocyte counts, red blood cell, calcium, 25-VitD3, and phosphorus levels in blood samples. Multivariate logistic regression was performed to examine the association between MLR (as a qualitative or quantitative variable) and severe AAC morbidity.
resultsSevere AAC was detected in 273 (9.0%) participants. Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that high MLR was an independent predictor of severe AAC (odds ratio [OR] 2.80, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.04-7.50; P = 0.041).
conclusionsElevated MLR levels are independently associated with higher odds for severe AAC, which can serve as a new risk factor in clinical practice.
