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

aimTo evaluate the utility of the systemic immune inflammation index (SII) and systemic inflammation response index (SIRI) in diagnosing pulmonary embolism (PE) in emergency medicine.

methodsWe retrospectively reviewed the data of patients who presented to the emergency department and underwent contrast-enhanced computed tomography pulmonary angiography for suspected PE between January 1 and December 31, 2021. In 81/168 patients, the diagnosis of PE was confirmed and in 87/168 it was rejected. The data were analyzed with receiver operating characteristic analysis and binary logistic regression analysis.

resultsPatients with PE had a higher white blood cell count (P<0.001), neutrophils (P=0.002), monocytes (P=0.013), neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (P<0.001), SII (P<0.001), and SIRI (P<0.001), and a lower lymphocyte count (P=0.002). The SII had a sensitivity of 75.31% and a specificity of 71.26%, while the SIRI had a sensitivity of 82.72% and a specificity of 68.97%. Binary logistic regression analysis showed that the Wells score, D-dimer level, and SII independently influenced the diagnosis of PE.

conclusionThe SII and SIRI may be used to support the diagnosis of PE in the emergency department.
