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: Aluminum phosphides (AlP) is a solid fumigant pesticide known for its high toxicity and mortality. Diagnosis of AlP is based on the history and clinical examination. The literature on the early prediction of adverse outcomes following AlP exposure is limited. Therefore, the current study aimed to investigate the role of neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet-to-lymphocyte Ratio (PLR) as early accessible predictors of mortality in AlP-exposed patients. Method: We conducted a retrospective cross-sectional study on 420 adult patients with acute AlP poisoning. Results: This study reported mean NLR and PLR of 4.07 ± 3.82 and 182.97 ± 147.29, respectively. Patients with high NLR and PLR showed more severe presentation, indicated by the significantly lower Glasgow scales and higher poison severity score grades. Besides, the need for mechanical ventilation, vasopressor therapy, and ICU admission was significantly higher among patients with high NLR and PLR ( Conclusion: These findings suggest that high NLR and PLR are associated with a worse prognosis and a higher mortality risk among patients with acute AlP poisoning.
