Role of Haematological Inflammatory indices in the Occurrence of Coronary Artery Disease: A Preliminary Retrospective Case-Control Study.
Review in Nigerian medical journal : journal of the Nigeria Medical Association. 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
Background: Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a paramount cardiovascular disease that significantly contributes to global mortality. Recent literature reports hematological inflammatory indices as promising surrogate markers for identifying CAD. This study aims to simultaneously investigate the potential of five inflammatory indices to assess the association with the occurrence of CAD in the Asian Indian population. Methodology: We conducted an age-matched retrospective case-control study among one hundred and thirty-one male cases and controls, and ninety-seven female cases and controls, based on the coronary angiogram performed in the Department of Cardiology in a tertiary referral hospital in southern India. From the Complete Blood Count reports, Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), Platelet-to-Lymphocyte ratio (PLR), and Lymphocyte-to-Monocyte ratio (LMR) were calculated for each subject. Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) and Mean Platelet Volume (MPV) values were collected from the laboratory reports. Student t-test and Mann-Whitney test were applied for analysing data that denoted Gaussian distribution and skewed distribution, respectively. To obtain diagnostic accuracy, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were applied, designating the area under the curve (AUC), sensitivity, and specificity. Results: Among the five inflammatory biomarkers, ESR and NLR demonstrated comparatively better discriminatory ability in both males (AUC=0.717, 0.7397) and females (AUC=0.8042, 0.7397). Conclusion: The findings suggest that ESR and NLR are quick and cost-effective biomarkers and may serve as adjunctive markers of coronary artery disease in the Asian Indian population.
