Neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio and platelet-lymphocyte ratio in morbidity and mortality in children with burns.
Article in Pediatric surgery international, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectivesThe aim of the present study was to investigate whether neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) rates have a role in morbidity and mortality in children who were hospitalized due to burns.
methodsA total of 282 patients between the ages of 0-18 who were hospitalized due to deep partial thickness and full thickness burns between 2018 and 2023 were included in the study.
resultsThe mean NLR value in deceased patients was found to be significantly higher than that in survivors (p < 0.036). The NLR value was found to be significantly positively associated with the duration of hospital stay (p < 0.001). The sensitivity and specificity of the 8.775 cutoff value for NLR in predicting mortality were determined to be 66.7% and 74.7%, respectively. There was no statistically significant difference between the PLR values of survivors and non-survivors (p = 0.926).
conclusionDespite PLR, the study indicates that the risk of morbidity and mortality is significantly higher in pediatric patients with high NLR values at the time of admission to the hospital, and that the NLR value provides important information about the clinical course and mortality in these patients.
