The evaluation of hemogram-related systemic inflammatory markers in pterygium recurrence.
Article in BMC ophthalmology, 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
backgroundTo evaluate hemogram-related systemic inflammatory markers and cholesterol levels in patients with primary and recurrent pterygium.
methodsThe records of patients underwent pterygium surgery were investigated. Patients with primary and recurrent pterygium were enrolled as Group 1 and Group 2, respectively. Age and sex-matched healthy individuals formed Group 3. Hemogram results taken one week before surgery were obtained from the medical files. Neutrophil, lymphocyte, eosinophil, monocyte, platelet, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), eosinophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (ELR), monocyte-to-eosinophil ratio (MER), monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio (MLR), monocyte-to-HDL cholesterol ratio (MHR), and systemic inflammation index (SII) and HDL, LDL, TG, and total cholesterol were calculated and compared between groups.
resultsThere were 54, 30 patients and 34 healthy individuals, in Group 1, 2, and 3, respectively. The mean vertical and horizontal length of pterygium were not statistically different between patient groups. The mean neutrophil, eosinophyl, monocyte, platelet, were not statistically different between groups (p: 0.43, p: 0.79, p: 0.85, p:0.29, respectively). The mean lymphocyte value was statistically different between Group 2 and 3 (p:0,001). The mean HDL, LDL, total cholesterol, TG were not statistically different between groups. Mean NLR, PLR, ELR, MER, MLR, MHR, and SII were not statistically different between groups (p: 0.63, p: 0.17, p:0.13, p:0.46, p: 0.07, p:0.77, p:0.97, respectively). DISCUSSION: Hemogram-related inflammatory markers and serum cholesterol levels were not different between patients with primary, recurrent pterygium, and healthy subjects. Only mean lymphocyte was lower in patients with recurrent pterygium compared with control group. The role of systemic inflammation should be investigated in further studies.
