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: Repeated polyserositis, another name for familial Mediterranean fever (FMF), is an autoimmune disorder with an autosomal recessive nature primarily characterized by short-lived repeated periods of peritonitis, pleuritis, and arthritis, generally accompanied by fever. Methods: Our participants were divided into two groups. Group I (patients): 100 individuals who were diagnosed as patients with FMF and were monitored. Group II (control): matched- healthy individuals (100 controls). They were compared and followed up as regards demographic, clinical, and laboratory data: routine investigations, neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet lymphocyte ratio (PLR), and mean platelet volume (MPV), red cell distribution width (RDW), C-reactive protein (CRP), and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR). Results: Group I: MPV mean was 12.03±2.89, whereas group II MPV mean was 7.74±0.57. MPV was significantly statistically greater in group I than in group II. RDW mean in group I was 17.07±1.39 and in group II was 12.92±0.63. RDW was also significantly statistically greater in group I compared with group II. Group I's NLR mean was 3.05±0.71, whereas group II's NLR mean was 1.75±0.2. PLR mean in group I was 164.8±122.8 and in group II was 111.26±29.16. Conclusion: A statistically significant association was shown between the diagnosis of adult FMF and NLR, PLR, MPV, and RDW.
