Diagnostic value of lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio in Crohn's disease: a cross-sectional study.
Article in Annals of medicine and surgery (2012), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Background: Investigating non-invasive laboratory biomarkers for detecting and classifying Crohn's disease (CD) activity remains challenging. Here, we aimed to evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of immunological biomarkers in identifying disease activity in newly diagnosed CD patients. Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed from October 2022 to July 2023 and included 20 healthy participants and 46 confirmed newly diagnosed CD patients in a Teaching Hospital for Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Sulaimani, Iraq. The patients were categorized according to the disease activity assessed according to the Harvey-Bradshaw Index and divided into remission and active CD. Results: A statistically higher serum C-reactive protein (CRP) and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) levels were found among the remission CD group ( Conclusion: The LMR can be an affordable, easily accessible test that shows promise for determining disease activity in newly diagnosed CD patients.
