Can inflammatory indices predict myringosclerosis?
Article in Saudi medical journal, 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
objectivesTo examine the relationships between the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), the platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), and the systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) in myringosclerosis after ventilation tube insertion (VTI).
methodsWe conducted this descriptive case-control study between March 2022 and September 2024. A total of 75 children aged 6 to 12 years with a history of VTI were enrolled. Myringosclerosis+ (n=43) included children with myringosclerosis, while Myringosclerosis- (n=32) included children without myringosclerosis. Preoperative values for NLR, PLR, and SII were collected by hematological testing and calculations. Demographic factors, prognostic risk factors and discrimination power of parameters were determined by statistical methods.
resultsCompared to the myringosclerosis-, the myringosclerosis+ had significantly higher NLR, PLR, and SII values (
conclusionNeutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio and SII are systemic inflammatory prognostic markers in myringosclerosis, and elevated NLR values are a predictor of myringosclerosis with modest affect. Other parameters should be sought in myringosclerosis development.
