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

Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is a tick-borne zoonotic disease, causing clinical presentations ranging from asymptomatic infection to fatal viral hemorrhagic fever. Throughout the course of CCHF, the levels of certain biomarkers, such as platelets (PLTs), white blood cells (WBCs), C-reactive protein (CRP), and interleukin-6 (IL-6), may vary, decreasing below or rising above normal limits. This study aimed to investigate the role of parameters such as WBC/PLT, WBC/IL-6, WBC/CRP, and WBC/D-dimer ratios in predicting disease prognosis in patients diagnosed with CCHF. The study population consisted of 60 CCHF patients and 30 controls. Statistically significant differences were observed in hemoglobin (HGB), PLT, WBC, activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT), international normalized ratio (INR), fibrinogen, and d-dimer values between the patients and controls. Statistically significant differences were observed in WBC/aPTT, WBC/fibrinogen, WBC/D-dimer, and WBC/IL-6 values between the patient and control groups. WBC/INR and WBC/fibrinogen values were lower in fatal cases compared to survivors. WBC/D-dimer and WBC/IL-6 values, on the other hand, were higher in fatal cases compared to survivors. In patients requiring intensive care unit (ICU), WBC/PLT, WBC/INR, WBC/aPTT, and WBC/fibrinogen values were higher compared to those who did not. However, WBC/D-dimer and WBC/IL-6 values were lower in patients requiring ICU compared to those who did not.
