Relationship between neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio and platelet-lymphocyte ratio with the severity of COVID-19.

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
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an infectious disease that spreads rapidly causing a high case fatality rate in vulnerable populations. Neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) are known to be inflammatory biomarkers in certain infections. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between NLR and PLR with the severity of COVID-19. A cross-sectional study was conducted at Tabanan Regency General Hospital, Bali, Indonesia, from January 2021 to December 2022. All patients included in the study tested positive for COVID-19 by real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), aged 18-50 years with no comorbid. Laboratory examinations were carried out on admission. The patients were categorized into two groups based on the severity: moderate and severe/critical. The Mann-Whitney test was used to determine the association between NLR and PLR with the severity of COVID-19. A total of 104 patients were included in the study, the majority of COVID-19 patients had moderate (77.9%) severity. The average NLR was 5.8 and the PLR was 21.7. There was a significant relationship between NLR (
