Intracranial pressure, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio, C-reactive protein, and D-dimer mortality predictors in isolated severe traumatic brain injury.

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: Severe traumatic brain injury (STBI) is associated with high mortality and significant management challenges, particularly due to elevated intracranial pressure (ICP) and its role in triggering secondary injury through inflammatory pathways. This study investigates the predictive value of initial ICP, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), C-reactive protein (CRP), and D-dimer for 14-day mortality in patients with isolated STBI. Methods: A prospective cohort study was conducted at Ngoerah Hospital, Denpasar, including patients with isolated STBI requiring ICP monitoring. Initial ICP, NLR, PLR, CRP, and D-dimer levels (measured on day 3 of admission) were analyzed. The primary endpoint was 14-day mortality. Results: Among participants, 64.7% were male and 62.5% were aged 25-40 years. An initial ICP >20 cm H Conclusion: An initial ICP exceeding 20 cmH2O (14.71 mmHg) may serve as a new predictive threshold for 14-day mortality in isolated STBI patients. In addition, low PLR (<90.63) may serve as an early mortality predictor. Further studies are needed to clarify the role of other biomarkers.
