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

Background: Objectives: To investigate the prognostic value of dynamic changes in the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio (MLR), and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) among patients with PJP. Methods: A retrospective study of 165 PJP patients was conducted at two tertiary hospitals. Post-diagnostic trajectories of NLR, MLR, and PLR were analyzed using group-based trajectory modeling (GBTM). Associations between these trajectories and 28-day survival were assessed by Cox proportional hazards regression and Kaplan-Meier survival analysis. Results: Three distinct NLR trajectories were identified: continuously decreasing (15%), stable (68%), and continuously increasing (17%). Patients with continuously decreasing NLR had significantly lower 28-day survival ( Conclusion: The temporal trajectory of logNLR is strongly associated with 28-day survival in PJP. A persistently declining logNLR predicts poor prognosis, suggesting its utility in early risk stratification.
