The change of systemic inflammation response index in the treatment of patients with myasthenia gravis undergoing thymectomy: A retrospective, follow-up study.

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
Background: This study aims to investigate the role of neutrophil-tolymphocyte ratio, platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio, monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio, and systemic inflammation response index in patients with myasthenia gravis, thymomas and thymic hyperplasia and to identify the relationship between the inflammation response and disease activity. Methods: Between January 2010 and December 2018, a total of 97 patients (71 males, 26 females; mean age: 36.7±16.3 years; range, 15 to 76 years) who underwent extended thymectomy with the diagnosis of myasthenia gravis were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into two groups as the patient group (n=42) and the control group (n=55). Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio, monocyteto-lymphocyte ratio, and systemic inflammation response index were measured one day prior to and one month after surgery. Results: The patients with thymoma were older with a higher mean pre-systemic inflammation response index value. Preoperative systemic inflammation response index, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, and monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio were significantly higher in patients with thymoma. A preoperative systemic inflammation response index value of less than 0.62 was accepted to indicate thymic hyperplasia and a postoperative systemic inflammation response index value higher than 2.94 was indicative of thymoma. In myasthenic patients whose steroid dose was increased and/or remained the same at the first month after surgery, postoperative monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio and systemic inflammation response index values were found to be higher compared to preoperative values (p=0.006 and p=0.032, respectively). Patients whose pyridostigmine dose was increased and/or remained the same had significantly higher systemic inflammation response index values postoperatively (p=0.029). Conclusion: The precise cut-off values of systemic inflammation response index may be helpful for the surgeon to predict the surgical outcome and post-systemic inflammation response index may be a predictive marker for estimating postoperative treatment changes.
