Neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio and fibrinogen values in predicting patients with type B aortic dissection.
Article in Scientific reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
The aim of this study is to detect the diagnosis value of neutrophil lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and fibrinogen (FIB) in type B aortic dissection (TBAD) patients. This retrospective observation study consisted patients with TBAD, aortic aneurysm and physical examination between January 1, 2016 and December 31, 2019. Demographic and clinical information after the first admission were collected. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to explore the correlational relationship between NLR, FIB and TBAD. Receiver Operating Characteristic Curve (ROC) was performed to evaluate the diagnostic implication of NLR and FIB in TBAD patients. Six hundred and six patients who were first diagnosed with TBAD were included. Control groups were 202 aortic aneurysm and 140 physical examination subjects. The level of NLR and FIB in aortic dissection patients was significantly higher than aortic aneurysm patients and healthy group (P < 0.001). According to the results of multivariate logistic regression analysis, NLR and FIB were independent risk factors of aortic dissection, and the odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) value of NLR and FIB were 1.499 (1.126-1.738) and 1.914 (1.475-2.485), respectively. The area under the curve (AUC) was 0.836 of NLR and 0.756 of FIB. NLR and FIB showed high specificity, 89% and 83% respectively. This is the first study provided information on the diagnosis performance of NLR and FIB in TBAD patients. NLR and FIB showed high specificity, which may be a valuable tool for the diagnosis of TBAD.
