Platelet-to-white blood cell ratio as a predictor of postoperative outcomes in acute type A aortic dissection: a single-center retrospective analysis.
Article in Frontiers in cardiovascular medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Objective: To evaluate the predictive value of preoperative platelet-to-white blood cell ratio (PWR) for postoperative outcomes in patients with acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD). Methods: In this single-center retrospective cohort study, 363 ATAAD patients undergoing emergency type II hybrid aortic arch repair between January 2021 and February 2024 were stratified by median PWR into low PWR (<13.259) and high PWR (≥13.259) groups. Clinical variables, operative details, and outcomes were collected. Primary outcome was in-hospital postoperative adverse events (PAEs) incidence; secondary outcomes included short- and mid-term mortality. Associations were analyzed using multivariable logistic regression and Cox proportional hazards models. Results: A considerably higher incidence of PAEs was observed in the low PWR (<13.259) relative to the high PWR (41.99% vs. 21.43%, Conclusion: Preoperative low PWR independently predicts postoperative complications and mortality in ATAAD patients, serving as an accessible and cost-effective biomarker for risk stratification and clinical decision-making.
