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
backgroundApproximately half of AIS patients have an unfavorable outcome even after complete reperfusion. White blood cell (WBC) count to mean platelet volume (MPV) ratio (WMR) may be a promising predictive factor for futile recanalization. This study aimed to determine the predictive value of WMR in identifying individuals at higher risk of futile recanalization.
methodsIn this retrospective cohort study, 296 patients who achieved complete reperfusion after endovascular treatment (EVT) were included in the analysis. WBC count and MPV were collected at admission. Multivariable logistic regression was used to examine the independent association of the WMR with functional outcomes at three months. Net reclassification improvement (NRI) and integrated discrimination improvement (IDI) analyses were used to compare the accuracy of WMR for predicting futile recanalization.
resultsThe adjusted odds ratios for the fourth quartile of WMR were 3.142 (95% CI 1.405- 7.027, P = 0.005) for unfavorable outcomes at 3 months in comparison with the first quartile. The inclusion of WMR in the traditional model enabled a more accurate prediction of unfavorable outcomes (NRI 0.250, P = 0.031; IDI 0.022, P = 0.017).
conclusionElevated WMR at admission was independently associated with futile recanalization among AIS patients who received EVT and might be useful in identifying futile recanalization.
