1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

objectiveTo explore the correlation between the prognosis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and the platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR)-neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR).

methodsA retrospective analysis was performed on the data of 300 patients with AMI admitted to our hospital between August 2016 and August 2019. The general data, data on the patients' major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCE), the global registry of acute coronary events (GRACE), and the different groups of patients' survival times were compared.

resultsThe area under the curve (AUC) of PLR was 0.810 [95% CI (0.751, 0.869), P < 0.001]. The AUC value of NLR was 0.882 [95% CI (0.839, 0.925), P < 0.001]. In our study, 102 patients were placed in the high PLR group, 198 patients were placed in the low PLR group, 126 patients were placed in the high NLR group, 174 patients were placed in the low NLR group, 174 patients were placed in PLR-NLR group 0, 24 patients were placed in PLR-NLR group 1, and 102 patients were placed in PLR-NLR group 2. The heart rates (HR) and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels in Group 0 were the lowest among the three groups (P < 0.05), and the cTnI levels were observably lower than they were in Group 2 (P < 0.05). The patients' HR and BNP ratios in Group 1 were notably lower than the HR and BNP ratios in Group 2 (P < 0.05). The lowest incidence of MACCE was found in PLR-NLR Group 0. The number of intermediate-risk of patients in Group 0 was the lowest among the three groups. The order of the overall survival (OS) and the progression-free survival (PFS) of the three PLR-NLR Groups 0 were Group 0 > Group 1 > Group 2 (P < 0.001). The survival rate (SR) of the patients in PLR-NLR Group 0 was 100% within 2 years, which was significantly greater than the survival rates in Group 1 and Group 2 (P < 0.05). The SR of the patients in Group 0 was 98.8% within five years, which was also significantly higher than the survival rates in Groups 1 and 2 (P < 0.05).

conclusionThe PLR-NLR combination has an essential effect on the prognostic analysis of AMI. The incidence of MACCE increases with an increase in PLR-NLR.
