Comparison between neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio as predictors of mortality on Fournier's gangrene cases.
Article in Indian journal of urology : IJU : journal of the Urological Society of India. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 9 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
Introduction: Fournier's gangrene (FG) is an infection of the subcutaneous tissue and fascia that progresses quickly and leads to necrosis. It is more prevalent in male patients and immunocompromised individuals, such as those suffering from uncontrolled diabetes. It has a high mortality rate, which makes its early identification and clinical suspicion critical. This study aimed to compare two laboratory parameters, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), and to predict the mortality of FG in a tertiary care hospital. Methods: In a retrospective study, data was retrieved from medical records for the period from January 2014 to December 2020, of patients diagnosed with FG. Recorded data that is age, sex, comorbidities, mortality, and laboratory results (PLR and NLR) were used to assess determinants of survival. Results: There were 23 (17.04%) nonsurvivors among the 135 subjects studied. The mean age was 50.9 ± 14.9 years and men were 103 (83%) patients. Among the participants, diabetes mellitus was the most frequent comorbidity at 74 (54.81%) patients. NLR ≥8 was statistically significant ( Conclusion: NLR had prognosis predictive value for FG, whereas PLR did not.
