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

objectiveSudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL) is a common acute disease with an incidence of 0.5-2/10,000. This study aimed to determine whether the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and the platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) could be indicators for SSNHL.

methodsA total of 60 confirmed cases of SSNHL and 60 healthy volunteers were included in this study. Peripheral blood NLRs and PLRs were compared between these groups. The SSNHL patients were divided into two groups, according to therapeutic effect: an effective group and an ineffective group. Peripheral blood NLRs and PLRs before and after treatment were compared between these two groups.

resultsThe average NLRs and PLRs of these patients were both significantly higher than in controls. The average NLRs and PLRs of the ineffective group were both significantly higher than those of the effective group.

conclusionPeripheral blood NLR and PLR could be used as a convenient, reliable, and cost-effective indicator to predict the prognosis of SSNHL.
