An evaluation of suspected cases of Hantavirus infection admitted to a tertiary care university hospital in Düzce, Turkey, between 2012 and 2018
Article in Turkish journal of medical sciences, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
Background/aim: Hantavirus is a rodent borne zoonosis caused by the members of the virus family Bunyaviridae, genus Hantavirus. In this study, we aimed to determine the role of peripheral blood leukocyte ratio in differential diagnosis of Hantavirus disease. Materials and methods: The medical records of patients at the Düzce University Medical Faculty were examined retrospectively. A total of 20 patients diagnosed with hantavirus infection confirmed by serologic tests were included in the study (Group 1). The other group consisted of 30 patients suspected of hantavirus infection but found negative (Group 2). Demographic, clinical and laboratory characteristics, neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet/lymphocyte ratio (PLR), and lymphocyte/monocyte (LMR) ratios of both groups were compared. Results: As a result of the istatistics analysis, no difference was found between the groups’ age, sex, and clinical complaints except lethargy-weakness (P = 0.004) and diarrhea (P < 0.001). Hemogram analysis showed a significant difference between the groups in terms of leukocyte, hemoglobin, hematocrit, platelet, mean platelet volume (P < 0.05) and PLR (P = 0.001) and LMR (P = 0.003) values from peripheral blood leukocyte ratios. Conclusion: In conclusion, NLR, PLR, and LMR ratios may be useful for clinicians in differential diagnosis of Hantavirus in patients presenting with similar symptoms of Hantavirus disease.
