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

backgroundNeutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelets-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) and C-reactive protein-to-albumin ratio (CAR) are believed to be potential inflammatory markers that are closely related to the prognosis and course of cardiovascular diseases. The main goal of this study was the evaluation of NLR, PLR and CAR as factors reflecting the clinical picture and the prognosis of elderly chronic heart failure (CHF) patients.

methodsIn 150 elderly patients with newly diagnosed CHF, the NLR, PLR and CAR were correlated with cardiac, laboratory and nutritional parameters.

resultsSystemic inflammatory ratios were correlated with selected patient's parameters. CAR was associated with an unfavorable clinical picture of CHF-a reduced EF (

conclusionAn analysis of inflammatory markers, mainly CAR, allows the management of CHF, because its value can reflect the cardiac and nutritional status of patients with a prognostic value. NLR and PLR can serve as supplementary examinations for CAR evaluation.
