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 evaluate the outcome of platelet-related parameters in children with febrile seizures (FSs) and seek low-cost markers for the clinical prediction of FSs.

methodsA total of 79 patients with FSs (the FS group) who were hospitalized in our hospital were selected. Eighty-two patients with fever and without seizures (the FC group) and 81 healthy patients without fever (the HC group) were selected. The results of whole blood cell analysis were retrospectively analyzed.

resultsThe results of whole blood cell analysis showed that platelet (PLT) count, mean platelet volume (MPV), hemoglobin (Hb), mean corpuscular volume (MCV), mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH), and hematocrit (HCT) levels in the FS group were significantly lower than in the FC and HC groups (

conclusionPLT and MPV are closely related to the occurrence of FSs. PLT and PDW may be able to serve as simple yet effective laboratory indicators for distinguishing different types of FSs. Low PLR levels could be used to predict the risk of FS recurrence.
