Relationship between platelet/lymphocyte ratio and prognosis of patients with septic acute kidney injury: A pilot study.
Article in Journal of the Chinese Medical Association : JCMA, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
backgroundTo explore the potential role of the platelet/lymphocyte ratio (PLR) as a prognostic marker in septic patients with acute kidney injury (AKI) and to provide theoretical evidence for the epidemiological study of the prognosis of patients with septic AKI in its early stage.
methodsA pilot study was conducted. A logistic regression analysis was conducted to screen the risk factors, and the selected factors were performed using multiple logistic regression analysis; a Receiver Operating Characteristic curve was used to determine the optimal cutoff value of the PLR and then to calculate the sensitivity and specificity of the PLR ratio.
resultsMechanical ventilation, platelet count, PLR, and arterial blood lactate concentration have a correlation with sepsis (p < 0.05). An elevated PLR is significantly associated with a worse prognosis of sepsis-induced AKI (higher mortality).
conclusionThe PLR might be an effective factor in predicting a worse prognosis of septic AKI patients.
