Optimal Timing of the Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio and Platelet-to-Lymphocyte Ratio as Early Predictors of Neurological Outcomes in Postcardiac Arrest Patients.

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
The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) have been recognized as predictors of various critical illnesses. Our study aimed to investigate whether the NLR and PLR measured at different timepoints could predict poor neurological outcomes at 6 months. This observational retrospective cohort study included adults who had experienced out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) and received targeted temperature management between November 2015 and December 2020. Patients with an active infection, as confirmed by an initial blood culture, were excluded. Multivariate logistic regression models were used to determine the association between the NLR and PLR at 0, 24, and 48 h after return of spontaneous circulation and poor neurological outcomes, defined as a Cerebral Performance Category score of ≥3 at 6 months. The NLR at 24 h, but not the NLR or PLR at other timepoints, was significantly associated with poor neurological outcomes (odds ratio: 1.05; 95% CI: 1.01-1.09;
