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/
aimThe aim of this study was to investigate the role of the platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR)-neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) combination, in the prediction of the presence of Helicobacter pylori (HP) and its associated complications in the gastrointestinal system. PATIENTS AND
methodsIn all, 1289 patients who underwent esophagogastroduodenoscopy and biopsy for HP were included in the study.
resultsThe ratio of patients with moderate and severe chronic gastritis was higher in HP (+) group than HP (-) group. The ratio of patients with levels 1-3 atrophy and intestinal metaplasia was higher in HP (+) group. Compared with HP (-) group, HP (+) had higher PLR and NLR levels. The ratio of HP (+) patients was higher in high-risk group compared with low- and medium-risk groups. HP invasion stage, the intestinal metaplasia level, and the ratio of patients with atrophy level "3" were higher in high-risk group compared with low- and medium-risk groups. Regression analysis showed that the PLR-NLR combination was an independent risk factor for both HP presence and moderate and severe chronic gastritis.
conclusionWe found the PLR-NLR combination to be a good predictor of HP presence and gastrointestinal complications associated with HP.
