Examination of the Relation Between Audiometric Configuration and Hematological Parameters in Idiopathic Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss.

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
Among the hematological parameters, neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet/ lymphocyte ratio (PLR) have been associated with inflammatory state, microvascular damage and ischemia. It is well-known that these ratios increase in idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss (ISSHL). In ISSHL, different audiographic features may reflect different disease mechanisms. This study aimed to investigate whether there were differences in NLR and PLR among patient groups with different audiometric configurations. Patients meeting the study inclusion criteria were divided into four groups according to their audiogram configurations. Mean NLR and PLR values of the patient groups were compared among themselves and versus control group. The study was conducted with 166 participants. Mean NLR values were 3.07 ± 2.48, 3.30 ± 2.70, 5.24 ± 3.71, 3.57 ± 3.19 and 1.51 ± 0.68 for ascending, flat, descending and total/subtotal audiometric configuration groups and control group, respectively. Mean PLR values were 145.2 ± 126.7, 130.9 ± 57.8, 192.2 ± 94.4, 143.7 ± 70.8 and 94.1 ± 24.7 for ascending, flat, descending, total/subtotal audiometric configuration groups and control group, respectively. Both NLR and PLR were significantly greater in patients from all configuration groups than in control group (
