Reference Intervals for Hematological Inflammatory Ratios in Healthy Dogs.
Article in Animals : an open access journal from MDPI, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Hematological inflammatory ratios such as the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte (NLR), monocyte-to-lymphocyte (MLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte (PLR), and systemic inflammatory index (SII) have recently demonstrated prognostic value in acute inflammatory diseases, neoplastic conditions, hepatic and gastrointestinal pathologies, as well as acting as biomarkers for the early detection of tumors and cardiorespiratory diseases. In addition, they can be easily calculated and have no additional cost. The purpose of this study was to establish reference ranges for these ratios in the canine population, thereby providing support for clinical practice. Data was collected from previous studies. The dogs included in the study had to have anamnesis and physical examination without abnormalities and within reference limits in laboratory results. A total of 156 samples were included and divided by sex and age. The following reference intervals were established: 1.3-7.1 for NLR; 0.1-0.3 for MLR; 40.4-271.1 for PLR, and 224.6-2191.7 for SII. Statistical significant difference was found between sexes and NLR, with males showing a higher ratio than females. Regarding age, statistical significance was found between juveniles and senior dogs for NLR. PLR and SII showed higher ratios in senior dogs compared to adults and juveniles. This study may serve as a guide in clinical practice for the interpretation of hematological inflammatory ratios.
