The Role of the Glucose Potassium Ratio in the Management of Traumatic Brain Injury.
Article in Korean journal of neurotrauma, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
Objective: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) has become a worldwide public health issue, raising concerns about which tool might be useful to guide initial management at hospital admission, especially to decide whether the patient would benefit from an opportune surgical intervention. Recently, the glucose-to-potassium ratio has more accurate predictive values than other biomarkers and is useful for its simplicity to obtain. To correlate each biomarker with the outcome for every patient with TBI. Methods: The analysis included patients treated in a single institution between 2020 and 2021, diagnosed with mild TBI that required neurosurgery, moderate or severe TBI. Blood samples were obtained at admission, and the glucose-to-potassium ratio was calculated retrospectively. Then, these values and other variables were compared with the outcome at 6 and 12 months. Extracranial lesions that directly contributed to the outcome, a Glasgow Coma Scale of 3 and below, hemodynamic instability, and cardiac arrest were exclusion criteria. Results: Forty-seven patients who reached the criteria were examined, 35 (74%) had a favorable outcome and 12 (26%) a poor one. The only biomarker significantly related to the outcome was the glucose-to-potassium ratio in both the bivariate and multivariate analysis ( Conclusion: An increase in the glucose-to-potassium ratio was the only biomarker associated with poor outcomes and increased mortality.
