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

Background: Central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO) has been identified as an acute emergency resulting in vision loss, with its pathogenesis potentially involving systemic inflammation and abnormal lipid metabolism. Over recent years, it has been established that peripheral blood inflammatory indices, including the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), the systemic immunoinflammatory index (SII), and the monocyte-to-high-density lipoprotein ratio (MHR), play significant roles in assessing systemic inflammation and lipid metabolism. However, the role of these indices in assessing the severity of CRAO has rarely been explored. This study aimd to investigate the relationship between these inflammatory indices and the severity of CRAO. Methods: This was a retrospective clinical study with a total of 49 CRAO patients and 50 age- and sex-matched controls involved. The patients with CRAO were divided into three groups (13 with incomplete CRAO, 16 with subtotal CRAO and 20 with total CRAO). Data were compared across these groups, and additionally, correlation analysis, restricted cubic spline plots, and receiver operating characteristic curve analysis were performed. Results: The values of NLR, SII and MHR were significantly higher in the CRAO group compared to controls (NLR: 2.49(1.71,3.44) Conclusion: Elevated levels of peripheral blood NLR, SII, and MHR are positively associated with CRAO incidence, highlighting their potential as early predictive markers. The combined NLR and MHR index further enhances diagnostic accuracy and may facilitate timely assessment of CRAO severity by ophthalmologists and internists.
