Elevated neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio in peripheral blood are associated with higher risk of atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis.

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
Objectives: The prevalence of atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis (ARAS) has been steadily increasing, yet reliable non-invasive diagnostic methods are lacking. This study investigated the association of platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR) and neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) with atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis (ARAS). Methods: Data were collected from a total of 1,026 patients, including 362 with ARAS and 664 without. RCS, Logistic regression analysis and stratified analysis were conducted to identify significant risk factors. The diagnostic value of PLR and NLR in predicting the occurrence and severity of ARAS was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic curve analysis. Results: Conclusions: Elevated levels of NLR and PLR are associated with an increased risk of developing ARAS. Moreover, a higher NLR is linked to more severe stenosis in ARAS cases. Therefore, NLR and PLR have the potential to serve as novel indicators for diagnosing ARAS.
