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

Objective: There are no studies examining the role of the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), the C-reactive protein-to-albumin ratio (CAR), the systemic inflammatory index (SII), and the systemic inflammatory response index (SIRI) in anti-synthetase syndrome (ASS). We aim to compare NLR, CAR, SII, and SIRI in ASS and dermatomyositis/polymyositis (DM/PM), as well as to examine potential correlations between NLR, CAR, SII, and SIRI and clinical features and laboratory parameters in ASS. Methods: Retrospective collection of data from 111 patients with ASS and 175 patients with DM/PM. A Spearman rank correlation analysis was utilized to analyze the correlation between NLR, CAR, SII, and SIRI and inflammatory indexes. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were used to assess the diagnostic value. Univariate logistic regression analysis was performed to assess risk factors for interstitial lung disease (ILD). Results: Compared with DM/PM, NLR, CAR, SII, and SIRI were significantly greater in ASS patients (p < 0.05). NLR, CAR, SII, and SIRI were correlated with albumin, lactic dehydrogenase (LDH), C-reactive protein (CRP), ferritin, white blood cell (WBC), platelets, and myositis disease activity assessment visual analog scales (MYOACT) score (p < 0.05). The ROC curves analysis showed that NLR, SII, and SIRI were all highly predictive of the occurrence of ASS. Comparisons based on clinical characteristics showed elevated levels of NLR, CAR, SII, and SIRI in ASS patients with ILD, fever, and infection (p < 0.05). Univariate logistic regression analysis revealed that NLR, CAR, and SII were significant risk factors for ASS-ILD (p < 0.05). Conclusion: The levels of NLR, CAR, SII, and SIRI were higher in ASS than in DM/PM and correlated with disease activity and specific clinical features. NLR, CAR, SII, and SIRI may be an aid in differentiating ASS from DM/PM and maybe promising biomarkers for ASS.
