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

backgroundInflammation plays a pivotal role in the progression of coronary artery disease and increases the risk of mortality in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). The glucose-to-lymphocyte ratio (GLR), calculated from serum glucose levels and peripheral lymphocyte counts, is a novel marker of inflammation, but its relationship with outcomes after CABG remains unexplored. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between GLR and long-term mortality.

methodsThis retrospective cohort study used data from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care (MIMIC) database to examine baseline and outcome data for CABG patients. Participants were stratified into quartiles based on GLR levels, and the Cox proportional hazards model and restricted cubic spline analysis were used to evaluate the association between GLR and mortality.

resultsA total of 592 adult patients (mean age 70.0 ± 10.3 years, mean BMI 30.6 ± 6.8 kg/m

conclusionsGLR was significantly associated with an increased risk of long-term mortality, with both the highest and lowest quartiles demonstrating elevated hazard ratios compared to the second quartile. Assessing GLR may have clinical relevance for predicting mortality risk, providing valuable insights for preventive strategies and patient management.
