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

objectiveThis study aims to investigate discriminatory ability of the Systemic Immune-Inflammation Index (SII), Systemic Inflammation Response Index (SIRI), and Neutrophil Percentage-to-Albumin Ratio (NPAR), in differentiating Behçet's Syndrome (BS) organ involvements from mucocutaneous involvement.

methodsThis retrospective cohort study analyzed 436 patients diagnosed with BS from 2018 to 2023. Patients were categorized into three groups based on organ involvement: vascular, only mucocutaneous, and other organ involvement. Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) analysis was used to evaluate the discriminatory ability (mucocutaneous vs rest, vascular vs rest). DeLong's test was used to determine statistical differences in discriminatory power between the models.

resultsOut of 436, 115 patients had vascular involvement. SII, SIRI, and NPAR were notably elevated in the vascular involvement group (

conclusionSII, SIRI, and NPAR are promising noninvasive biomarkers for predicting vascular involvement. These indices, derived from routine laboratory tests, could enhance early screening and may improve patient outcomes by enabling timely intervention.
