Association of CBC-derived inflammatory biomarkers with overall anemia in U.S. youth: NHANES study.
Article in Annals of hematology, 2026. 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
Evidence suggests a link between inflammation and anemia. This study investigates potential associations between novel inflammatory biomarkers and anemia. Data were obtained from 11,564 participants aged ≤ 18 years from NHANES 2005-2018. Six indices were evaluated: systemic immune-inflammation index (SII), pan-immune-inflammation value (PIV), systemic inflammation response index (SIRI), neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), and monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio (MLR). Logistic regression, subgroup, and sensitivity analyses were performed. Among 11,564 children (mean age 11.8 ± 3.8 years, 51.2% male), 571 cases of anemia were identified. After full adjustment, higher levels of SII, PIV, PLR, and MLR remained significantly associated with increased odds of anemia, whereas the associations for SIRI and NLR were attenuated and no longer statistically significant (both P > 0.05). Compared with the lowest quartile, the highest quartile was associated with greater odds of anemia for SII (OR = 1.65, 95% Cl 1.14-2.38), PlV (OR = 1.64, 95% CI 1.17-2.30), PLR (OR = 1.70, 95% CI 1.19-2.43), and MLR (OR = 1.63, 95% Cl 1.19-2.23). Restricted cubic spline analyses indicated linear associations between all six CBC-derived markers and anemia. Sensitivity stratified analyses showed significant interactions for SII (race, P = 0.03), PIV (age, P = 0.01; sex, P = 0.04), and NLR, whereas MLR, PLR, and SIRI demonstrated consistent associations across subgroups. These results suggest that CBC-derived inflammatory indices are independently associated with overall anemia prevalence in children and adolescents, highlighting their potential as accessible markers for risk stratification.
