1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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: Recent evidence suggested that platelet-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) may play a role in the pathophysiology of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), but the results are controversial. This study aimed to explore the relationship between PLR and mortality in patients with ICH. Methods: All data were extracted from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care (MIMIC) III database. The study outcome was 90-day mortality. Multivariable Cox regression analyses were used to calculate the adjusted hazard ratio (HR) with a 95% confidence interval (CI), and curve-fitting (restricted cubic spline) was used to assess the non-linear relationship. Results: Of 1,442 patients, 1,043 patients with ICH were included. The overall 90-day mortality was 29.8% (311/1,043). When PLR was assessed in quartiles, the risk of 90-day mortality for ICH was lowest for quartile 2 (120.9 to <189.8: adjusted HR, 0.67; 95% CI: 0.48-0.93; Conclusion: There was a non-linear relationship between PLR and 90-day mortality for patients with ICH, with an inflection point at 145.54 and a minimal risk at 120.9 to <189.8 of PLR.
