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

Mean platelet volume (MPV) is a measure of platelet activation, and C-reactive protein (CRP) is an established marker of inflammation. Studies on the correlation between MPV and CRP have produced ambiguous results. We undertook a population study with the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) data (2005-2010) to investigate the relationship between CRP and MPV. CRP was analyzed both as a continuous variable and as a categorical variable (low, intermediate, or high). Multivariate ordinary least squares regression analysis was used to predict the association. Statistical analyses were performed with Stata MP 15.1. In 16,329 participants, mean MPV was 7.9 fL (standard deviation 0.87). Overall mean CRP in the population was 0.4 mg/dL (standard deviation 0.78). In adjusted regression models with CRP as a continuous measure, individuals with high CRP had significantly lower MPV (b = -0.04; standard error 0.01; 95% confidence interval -0.06 to -0.01;
