Red cell distribution width and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio as a predictive factor in treatment of pediatric patients with burns.
Article in International journal of burns and trauma, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
backgroundRed cell distribution width (RDW) is associated with mortality in certain diseases. Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio [NLR] is being used as a decisive parameter in inflammatory diseases. The association between morbidity and RDW-NLR in children with burns is unclear. We aimed to evaluate effectivity of these markers in children with burn.
methodsRetrospectively the treatment records of 39 children with second-degree superfisial, second-degree deep, and third-degree burns were evaluated. First group included patients those treated with grafts and second group included those treated with topical agents. Total body surface area [TBSA], age, RDW, NLR, sex, and albumin values were evaluated. The association of RDW and NLR with both groups were analysed.
resultsPatients in group 2 had mild increase in RDW and NLR values but it was not more statistically significant than in group 1. A positive relationship between NLR and length of hospital stay, TBSA and length of hospital stay, and RDW and lymphocyte values was found. A negative correlation between albumin values and length of hospital stay was found.
conclusionNLR is associated with morbidity in patients with burns; although RDW has not any relationship with morbidity in pediatric scald burns.
