Peripheral Lymphocyte-to-Monocyte Ratio as a Predictive Factor for Early Neurological Deterioration in Patients with Acute Ischemic Stroke.
Article in International journal of general medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Purpose: Previous studies have reported that lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (LMR) is associated with the prognosis of patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS); however, the relationship between LMR and early neurological deterioration (END) in AIS patients has not been elucidated. Patients and Methods: Patients were divided into two groups according to LMR by using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. Patients with END were confirmed as the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) increased ≥ 4 points between hospital days 0 and 5. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the factors independently related to END in patients with AIS. Results: In total, 202 patients diagnosed with AIS were enrolled in this retrospective study. Using ROC curve analysis, patients were divided into two groups according to LMR: low LMR group (LMR < 3.24, n = 95) and high LMR group (LMR ≥ 3.24, n = 107). The frequencies of END were significantly higher in the low LMR group compared to the high LMR group (41.05 vs.15.89%, p < 0.001). Multivariate logistic regression showed that age (OR = 1.03, 95% CI 1.01-1.06, p = 0.04), infarct volume (OR = 1.01, 95% CI 1.00-1.02, p = 0.001), neutrophil count (OR = 1.17, 95% CI 1.03-1.33, p = 0.018), and LMR (OR = 2.49, 95% CI 1.01-9.11, p = 0.018) were independently associated with END in AIS patients. Conclusion: A peripheral LMR levels at admission were significantly associated with END and LMR < 3.24 is an independent predictive factor of END in patients with AIS.
