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

backgroundLymphocyte to monocyte ratio (LMR) has been long implicated in the prediction of many inflammatory-related diseases. However, the possible value as prognostic marker of LMR have not been evaluated in cardiogenic shock (CS) patients. The aim of the study was to assess the relationship between LMR on admission and in-hospital mortality in CS patients.

methodsData on patients diagnosed with CS were extracted from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care-IV (MIMIC-IV) database. We performed a single-institution, retrospective study of 1487 CS patients and determined the optimal cut-off for LMR by X-tile software. Propensity score matching (PSM) and inverse probabilities of treatment weighting (IPTW) were conducted to control confounders. Cox proportional hazards model was performed to evaluate the relationship between LMR and in-hospital mortality. Kaplan-Meier curves and receiver operating characteristics (ROC) analysis were applied to assess the prognostic value of LMR.

resultsThe optimal cut-off value for LMR was 0.9. Cox proportional hazards model demonstrated that lower LMR (< 0.9) was independently associated with in-hospital mortality with hazard ratio (HR) of 1.40 (1.12-1.74,

conclusionLower level of LMR is related to higher risk of in-hospital mortality of patients with CS. As an easily available biomarker, LMR can independently predict the in-hospital mortality in CS patients.
