The mean platelet volume (MPV) in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and its correlation with disease activity: a cross-sectional/case-control 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
Introduction: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a systemic disease, with unknown etiology. The authors aimed in this study to determine the connection between mean platelet volume (MPV) and disease activity of SLE. Although it has been studied in other rheumatological conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, its role in adult patients with SLE needs to be defined, especially in Syria. Materials and methods: The authors have included in a cross-sectional study, 80 patients with SLE and 80 controls.The SLE group was divided into two groups based on their disease activity index: the active disease group and the non-active disease group.In all groups, MPV and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) were analyzed. Clinical findings and Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Disease Activity Index (SLEDAI) were evaluated in all patients. Results: MPV was significantly lower in SLE patients compared to the control group (8.49±1.2 fl and 10.0±0.5 fl, respectively) ( Conclusion: MPV may be a disease activity indicator in patients with SLE. MPV is reduced in patients with active SLE and presents an inverse correlation with SLEDAI.
