Can the systemic immune inflammation index preoperatively predict nasal polyp subtypes?

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
purposeChronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps can be classified as eosinophilic or neutrophilic based on the major inflammatory cell type in the tissue. There is a need for predictive parameters to enable rhinologists to identify the type of nasal polyp in a patient without surgery. The aim of the present study was to test the predictive value of the markers of inflammation to estimate eosinophilic nasal polyps.
methodsThe study analyzed 299 patients who underwent sinus surgery for nasal polyps from 2012 to 2019. Patients were divided into two groups according to pathology results (eosinophilic polyps = group 1, neutrophilic polyps = group 2). The values of preoperative complete blood count, systemic immune inflammation index, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio were compared.
resultsIn our series, results of ROC analyses for both mean eosinophil count and systemic immune inflammation index were statistically significant. For the eosinophil count (AUC = 0.681, p < 0.001) and systemic immune inflammation index (AUC = 0.621, p = 0.001). Patients with an eosinophil cut-off value of 0.25 cells × 10
conclusionThe systemic immune inflammation index and absolute blood eosinophil count could be used to predict nasal polyp subtypes before surgery. We believe that systemic immune inflammation index should also be studied to estimate postoperative recurrence.
