Predicting severity of inpatient acute cholangitis: combined neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio and prognostic nutritional index.
Article in BMC gastroenterology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
The indicators for rapid assessment of the severity of acute cholangitis remain highly debated. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of various inflammatory and immune-nutritional markers in predicting the severity of acute cholangitis. The prognostic roles of the following markers were investigated: Systemic Immune-Inflammatory Index (SII), Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR), Platelet-to-Lymphocyte Ratio (PLR), Albumin (Alb), and Prognostic Nutritional Index (PNI). A total of 139 patients with acute cholangitis were included in the study. The inflammatory and immune-nutritional markers with better predictive efficacy were selected to construct a combined predictive score. According to the survival ROC curve analysis, the combined NLR and PNI score, termed PNS, demonstrated the best prognostic performance with an AUC of 0.853. Multivariable survival analysis identified the following independent prognostic factors: PNS (p = 0.010) and Prothrombin Time (PT) (p = 0.003). The results indicate that PNS = 2 is associated with a higher incidence of severe cholangitis.
