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: This study aimed to investigate the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), and D-dimer-to-fibrinogen ratio (DFR) as predictors of pneumonia and poor outcomes in patients with acute intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). Methods: We retrospectively examined patients with acute ICH treated in our institution from May 2018 to July 2020. Patient characteristics, laboratory testing data, radiologic imaging data, and 90-day outcomes were recorded and analyzed. Results: Among the 329 patients included for analysis, 183 (55.6%) developed pneumonia. Systolic blood pressure, initial hematoma volume, D-dimer concentration, NLR, PLR, DFR, and white blood cell, platelet, neutrophil, and lymphocyte counts at admission were significantly higher in patients who developed pneumonia than in those who did not; however, the Glasgow coma scale (GCS) score at admission was significantly lower in pneumonia patients compared with non-pneumonia patients (all P <0.05). Multivariate logistic regression showed that the NLR and PLR were independent predictors of pneumonia, and the NLR and DFR were independent predictors of poor 90-day outcomes (modified Rankin scale score 4-6). Conclusion: The NLR and PLR were independent predictors of pneumonia and the NLR and DFR were independent predictors of poor 90-day outcomes. The NLR, PLR, and DFR can provide prognostic information about acute ICH patients.
