Could serum thrombocyte/lymphocyte (TLR), neutrophil/lymphocyte (NLR) and neutrophil/albumin (NAR) ratios be indicators of hospitalization and mortality in COVID-19?
Article in Iranian journal of microbiology, 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
Background and Objectives: Neutrophil / lymphocyte (NLR) and thrombocyte / lymphocyte ratios (TLR) are also a guiding factors in the prognostic evaluation of infectious diseases. Another parameter to determine inflammation and prognosis is albumin. This study was aimed to determine whether TLR, NLR and neutrophil / albumin ratios (NAR) are effective in predicting the severity and course of Corona Virus Disease-2019 (COVID-19). Materials and Methods: In this retrospective and cross-sectional study, a total of 1597 patients who were admitted to our hospital between 15.03.2020-1.06.2020, diagnosed with COVID-19 were evaluated. Results: In the estimation of the decision for hospitalization, TLR, NLR and NAR AUROC values were 0.596, 0.634, 0.602 for cutoff values 123.7, 2.3 and 839.5, respectively. In predicting mortality, TLR, NLR and NAR AURO sample size can be specified C values were 0.674, 0.821, 0.787 for cutoff values 168.1, 5.2 and 1303.4, respectively (p <0.001 for all). Conclusion: In our study, it was determined that TLR, NLR and NAR are independent predictors in making the decision of hospitalization and in determining the prognosis in patients who are decided to be hospitalized.
