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

Introduction: Myocardial infarction (MI) is a complex clinical syndrome that significantly influences long-term outcomes through its effects on myocardial remodeling, heart failure progression, and mortality. Despite extensive research, there is still no consensus regarding optimal biomarkers for risk stratification of MI patients in terms of long-term outcomes. Aim: The study aimed to assess neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and evaluate the association between this ratio and long-term clinical and echocardiographic outcomes in patients hospitalized for MI. Material and methods: A total of 412 patients hospitalized for MI between 2016 and 2019 were screened. Demographic data, baseline clinical characteristics, typical biochemical parameters, and angiographic and echocardiographic findings were analyzed. Patients underwent long-term clinical and echocardiographic follow-up. Results: NLR correlated negatively with both baseline and follow-up left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ( Conclusions: Elevated NLR was associated with poorer left ventricular function and increased mortality in patients after MI during long-term observation.
