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

Introduction: The leukocyte or white blood cell (WBC) count is a crucial clinical risk marker for anorexia nervosa (AN). Leukocytes can be further classified as granulocytes (e.g., neutrophils, eosinophils) and agranulocytes (e.g., lymphocytes, monocytes). The immature granulocyte count (IGC) has been reported to be associated with psychological stress. However, the IGC has not been investigated in people with AN yet. Methods: We retrieved complete datasets from the Clinical Records Interactive Search (CRIS) register for 267 inpatients with AN and available leukocyte parameters (total WBC, neutrophils, eosinophils, lymphocytes, monocytes), Health of the Nation Outcome Scales (HoNOS) scores and body mass index (BMI) data at admission. In 49 of these patients, the immature granulocyte count was also available. Result: Leukocyte baseline levels were WBC: 4.82 × 10 Discussion: In inpatients with AN, the WBC, eosinophil and monocyte count seem to increase alongside weight restoration. Leukocytes did not exhibit reliable associations with health and social functioning measures in this sample.
