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

backgroundTo investigate the levels of neutrophil-to-lymphocyte (NLR) and platelet-to-lymphocyte (PLR) ratios in those having a pulmonary embolism (PE) in the course of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).

methodsThe records of those having COVID-19 were retrospectively obtained from the hospital automation system. NLR and PLR were measured with the help of patients' blood cell counts.

resultsOf 1,452 COVID-19 patients, 17 (1.2%) were diagnosed with PE. Compared with the controls, while leukocyte (

conclusionAlthough NLR and PLR had higher scores in PE patients, no relationship was determined between the levels of NLR and PLR and PE development. Further prospective studies including larger populations are required to enlighten the increased NLR and PLR in PE patients having COVID-19.
