Gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase to platelet and gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase to lymphocyte ratio in a sample of Chinese Han population.
Article in BMC gastroenterology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
backgroundGamma-glutamyl transpeptidase to platelet ratio (GPR) and gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase to lymphocyte ratio (GLR) are assumed to be prognostic factors in liver fibrosis, cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. However, the reference values of GPR and GLR were not known.
objectivesThe study aimed to investigate the reference ranges of GPR and GLR in Chinese Han population in Chaoshan region in South China.
methodsA retrospective study was conducted in the First Affiliated Hospital of Shantou University Medical College in South China. 2400 healthy adults aged 20~79 years were included. GPR and GLR were determined.
resultsOf 2400 healthy adults, 1200 men and 1200 women were included. The median GPR and GLR for men were 0.22 and 11.28, for women were 0.18 and 7.86, respectively. The 95% reference range of GPR in normal male and female are 0.09~0.54 and 0.08~0.55, GLR are 4.55~29.64 and 3.52~23.08, respectively. The male had a higher GPR at age 20~49 than the female while the GPR at age 60~79 was higher in the female than in the male. The GPR was affected by age, decreased with aging in male and increased in female. The GLR was higher in the male than in the female and varied with aging in the female but not in the male.
conclusionThe study provides reference data on GPR and GLR from different age and sex groups in South China. GPR and GLR varied with age and sex.
