White blood cells and platelet profiles of diabetic patients at University of Gondar specialized referral hospital: A comparative cross-sectional study.
Article in Journal of clinical laboratory analysis, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
backgroundAltered level of many hematological parameters such as white blood cells (WBC) and platelet function has been observed in diabetes mellitus (DM) patients. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the WBC and platelet profiles and their association with anthropometric measurement and blood pressure in DM patients and healthy controls.
methodA comparative cross-sectional study was conducted on a total of 246 participants at the University of Gondar Specialized Referral Hospital. Venous blood with K
resultsThe mean platelet count was significantly higher among diabetics (252.77 ± 77.7) compared to non-diabetic controls (208.22 ± 68), p < 0.001. Similarly, the total WBC count was higher among DM patients (6.95 ± 2.23) than in the controls (6.15 ± 1.95), p = 0.04. A significant negative correlation was also found between neutrophil and duration of illness in DM patients. Besides, there is a significant positive correlation between WBC and lymphocyte number with systolic blood pressure (SBP) in DM patients.
conclusionPlatelet and WBC count were significantly higher in DM patients than in the controls. Therefore, routine screening and profile checking of those abnormal indices is recommended to minimize DM-related complications.
