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

objectiveTo determine the role of the platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) in predicting poor neonatal outcome among preterm births (PTB). MATERIALS AND

methodsThe medical records of 439 PTBs and 200 normal pregnancies were reviewed retrospectively using some personal and obstetric data, as well as complete blood count reports.

resultsThere were significantly poor neonatal outcomes among PTBs in regard to birth weight, APGAR score, morbidity, and mortality. There were significantly poor outcomes for preterm neonates delivered to mothers with PLR ≥80 at delivery for low APGAR score, respiratory distress syndrome, intraventricular hemorrhage and perinatal death. There was a significant negative correlation between maternal PLR at delivery and birth weight, as well as gestational age of PTB.

conclusionMaternal PLR at delivery has a significant relationship with neonatal outcomes. It can predict preterm neonates with poor outcomes.
