Prognostic value of glucose-to-lymphocyte ratio for all-cause mortality and consciousness impairment in critically ill cerebrovascular disease patients.
Article in European journal of medical research, 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
backgroundThe glucose-to-lymphocyte ratio (GLR) is a promising biomarker linked to metabolic status and inflammation, with prognostic value in various diseases. However, its role in predicting outcomes for patients with cerebrovascular diseases, particularly in intensive care units, remains unclear.
methodsData from 1,810 intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) and 2060 ischemic stroke patients in the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care IV database were analyzed. Cox proportional hazards models were used to evaluate the relationship between GLR and in-hospital mortality, while logistic regression assessed its association with consciousness impairment. Restricted cubic spline analysis was performed to examine potential non-linear links. The incremental predictive value of GLR was evaluated using decision curve analysis and integrated discrimination improvement indices.
resultsElevated GLR was independently associated with higher in-hospital mortality in both ICH (hazard ratio [HR]: 1.016, P = 0.004) and ischemic stroke patients (HR: 1.013, P = 0.009). It was also linked to increased risk of consciousness impairment in ICH (odds ratio [OR]: 1.014, P = 0.043) and ischemic stroke (OR: 1.015, P = 0.013). Non-linear relationships between GLR and mortality were observed in ICH patients (P for non-linearity < 0.001). Incorporating GLR into existing clinical scoring systems improved their predictive power (all P < 0.05).
conclusionGLR is a valuable predictor of severe consciousness impairment and in-hospital mortality in intensive care unit (ICU) patients with cerebrovascular diseases.
