Impact of inflammatory biomarkers and surgical interventions on one-month recovery after rib fractures: A propensity-matched cohort study.
Review in Surgery open science, 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
Background: This study aims to assess the collective influence of inflammatory indicators and surgical interventions on the one-month postoperative recovery outcomes in patients with rib fractures. Methods: A retrospective analysis involved 70 surgical and 278 non - surgical rib - fracture patients. Primary outcomes were thoracic complication incidence and post - discharge oral analgesic use at one month. Secondary outcomes included hospital stay length and total costs. We collected various data and conducted propensity score matching (1:2 ratio) to control for confounders, followed by multivariate analyses. Results: After PSM (60 surgical vs. 117 non-surgical patients), surgical reduced hospital stay by 10.4 days (β = -10.36 days, 95 % confidence interval [95 % CI]: -16.03 to -4.70; Conclusion: Surgical rib - fracture stabilization shortens hospital stay but raises treatment costs. High SII and NLR, along with thoracic complications, are linked to post - op complications. LMR and HGB levels are associated with analgesic needs, which may aid in tailored pain management.
