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

Background: Acute aortic dissection (AAD), a serious and fatal cardiovascular disease, is characterized by inflammation that may further aggravate the condition. We evaluated the value of the neutrophil-to-platelet ratio (NPR) in the prognosis of AAD. Methods: We collected records of patients with AAD and clinical data from 2010 to 2020 and followed up on the relevant information for 136 months. The Kaplan-Meier (K-M) survival along with the univariate and multivariate Cox analyses was used to examine the prognostic value of NPR in AAD. In addition, nomograms were constructed by combining NPR, age, Stanford typing, and treatment methods. The accuracy of nomograms was evaluated using calibration plots, and the prediction efficiency of nomograms was evaluated by receiver operating characteristic curve analysis and decision curve analysis (DCA). Results: The K-M analysis showed that AAD patients with higher NPR exhibited worse prognosis. In addition, different Stanford typing and treatment methods produced varied prognosis results. Univariate and multivariate Cox analyses showed that NPR value, age, classification, and treatment were independent prognostic factors for the overall survival time of patients with AAD. Nomograms constructed by combining NPR, age, Stanford typing, and treatment methods showed good predictive efficacy, and the AUC values for 1-, 3-, and 5-year predicting were 0.82, 0.79, and 0.74, respectively. Conclusions: Our results suggest that pretreatment NPR can be used as a potential prognostic marker of overall survival time in patients with AAD.
