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

Objective: To explore the relationship between fibrinogen and neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (F-NLR) score and functional outcomes after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH). Method: A retrospective study was conducted that involved all consecutive patients with aSAH admitted to our institution from March 2018 to October 2021. Factors, such as demographics, comorbidities, clinical characteristics, neuroradiological data, and laboratory parameters, were collected from institutional databases. All patients achieved neurological assessment using the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score 3 months after discharge to clarify the functional outcomes. The results were classified as favorable (mRS score 0-2) and unfavorable (mRS score 3-6). Univariate and multivariable analyses were performed to identify the relevant factors between inflammatory markers and functional outcomes after aSAH. Subsequently, a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was conducted to evaluate the predicting performance of variables. A propensity score match (PSM) was performed to correct imbalances in patients' baseline characteristics. Results: Finally, 256 patients with aSAH were included in the study cohort. A total of 94 (36.7%) patients had an unfavorable outcome. F-NLR scores were 0 [interquartile range (IQR) 0-1] and 1 (IQR 1-2) in patients with favorable and unfavorable outcomes, respectively ( Conclusion: Fibrinogen and neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio score was an independent risk parameter associated with unfavorable functional outcomes at 3 months after aSAH. A higher F-NLR score predicts the occurrence of poor functional outcomes.
