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: Mechanical valve thrombosis (MVT), along with its associated embolic or obstructive complications, can have significant clinical implications. Studies evaluating the relationship of inflammatory and albumin-based markers such as neutrophile-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet lymphocyte ratio (PLR), C-reactive protein to albumin ratio, uric acid to albumin ratio and lactate dehydrogenase to albumin ratio (LAR) with thrombosis burden in patients with left sided mechanical valves are lacking. We aimed to examine the relationship between inflammatory and albumin-based markers, and left sided MVT with and without obstruction. Methods: Eighty-eight patients (age 48.9±13.8, 72.7% female) with left-sided MVT were included in the study. Patients were divided into two groups as obstructive thrombosis (OT) and non-obstructive thrombosis (NOT). Results: NLR, PLR and LAR levels were found to be significantly higher in OT group ( Conclusion: Increased NLR, PLR, and LAR values were associated with OT in left-sided MVT. Of those, NLR was found to be the most sensitive and specific marker and represented as an independent predictor of OT.
