Evaluation of descriptive performances of platelet indices, neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio, and platelet/lymphocyte ratio in aortic dissections.
Article in Revista da Associacao Medica Brasileira (1992), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
objectiveMechanical damage resulting from aortic dissection creates a thrombus in the false lumen, in which platelets are involved. Platelet index is useful for the function and activation of platelets. The aim of this study was to show the clinical relevance of the platelet index of aortic dissection.
methodsA total of 88 patients diagnosed with aortic dissection were included in this retrospective study. Demographic data and hemogram and biochemistry results of the patients were determined. Patients were divided into two groups: deceased and surviving patients. The data obtained were compared with 30-day mortality. The primary outcome was the relationship of platelet index with mortality.
resultsA total of 88 patients, 22 of whom were female (25.0%), diagnosed with aortic dissection, were included in the study. It was determined that 27 (30.7%) of the patients were mortal. The mean age of the entire patient group was 58±13 years. According to the DeBakey classification of aortic dissection of the patients, the percentages of the 1-2-3 type were determined as 61.4, 8.0, and 30.7%, respectively. Platelet index was not found to be directly related to mortality. Increase in age, decrease in bicarbonate value, and presence of diabetes mellitus were associated with mortality.
conclusionAlthough there were no significant changes in platelet index in aortic dissection, neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio and platelet/lymphocyte ratio were found to be high in line with the literature. In particular, the presence of advanced age diabetes mellitus and decrease in bicarbonate are associated with mortality.
