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: Coronary heart disease (CHD) remains the leading global cause of death; concomitant diabetes mellitus (DM) doubles short-term mortality, largely through chronic low-grade inflammation. Inexpensive, bedside complete blood count (CBC)-derived inflammatory indices (NLR, MLR, PLR, SII, SIRI, and AISI) predict outcomes in CHD or DM alone, but their utility in comorbid patients is unclear. Methods: Retrospective cohort study of CHD-DM patients from Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care-IV (MIMIC-IV; 2008-2022), split into training (2017-2022, Results: Mortality was 10.6% (training) and 11.9% (validation). All indices showed independent, dose-dependent associations with mortality (e.g., training MLR per 1-SD: HR = 1.49, 95% CI = 1.37-1.61), discrimination was good (training AUC 0.767, C-index 0.752; validation AUC 0.755, C-index 0.746), and calibration was excellent. Spearman correlation showed moderate-to-strong interindex correlations (e.g., MLR-SIRI: Conclusions: Six CBC-derived indices independently predict 28-day mortality in critically ill CHD-DM patients, with PLR and MLR showing superior predictive weight, and can be used for rapid, cost-free bedside risk stratification.
