Prognostic Value of Dynamic Segmented Neutrophil to Monocyte (SeMo) Ratio Changes in Patients with Moderate to Severe Traumatic Brain Injury.

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
backgroundTraumatic brain injury (TBI) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in trauma patients, necessitating reliable prognostic tools. The segmented neutrophil-to-monocyte (SeMo) ratio, indicative of the inflammatory response, has emerged as a valuable biomarker. This study evaluates the prognostic value of dynamic changes in the SeMo ratio in predicting outcomes for patients with moderate to severe TBI.
methodsA retrospective analysis was conducted on data from 1118 TBI patients admitted to the surgical intensive care unit at a level I trauma center between January 2009 and December 2020. Patients were selected based on an Abbreviated Injury Scale (AIS) score ≥ 3 in the head region. Initial and follow-up SeMo ratios were calculated upon admission and 48-72 h later, respectively. The dynamic SeMo ratio was defined as the difference between the second and initial SeMo ratios. Statistical analyses included receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis to determine the optimal threshold for mortality prediction, and comparative analysis of clinical outcomes.
resultsThe study cohort included 121 deceased and 997 surviving patients. Deceased patients had significantly higher second SeMo ratios (20.9 ± 16.1 vs. 15.8 ± 17.2, DISCUSSION: Dynamic SeMo ratio changes serve as a prognostic marker for in-hospital mortality and hospital stay duration in moderate to severe TBI patients. A higher dynamic SeMo ratio indicates increased risk, highlighting the importance of early monitoring and intervention. Future prospective studies should validate these findings and explore integration with other biomarkers for enhanced prognostication.
