Relationship between the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio or platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio and deep venous thrombosis (DVT) following femoral neck fractures in the elderly.

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.
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
Purpose: This study aimed to investigate whether the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) or platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) was associated with deep venous thrombosis (DVT) following femoral neck fractures in the elderly. Method: This was a retrospective cohort study and used data extracted from the hospitalization electronic medical record and the laboratory biomarker reports. Patients were included if they were aged above 60 years with a definite diagnosis of femoral neck fracture caused by low-energy trauma. Duplex ultrasound scanning was routinely performed to detect the potential DVT. Two independent multivariate logistic regression models were constructed to identify the association of NLR or PLR with the risk of DVT. Results: A total of 708 patients with femoral neck fractures were included, and 112 were found to have DVT, indicating an incidence rate of 15.8%. There were significant differences across five subgroups for NLR or PLR, in terms of age ( Conclusion: We concluded that a PLR value of 179-238 was associated with a 1.86-fold increased risk of DVT after femoral neck fracture. This study paves the way toward further exploration of inflammatory/immune biomarkers with the risk of DVT in the elderly with trauma.
