Serum albumin, a good indicator of persistent organ failure in acute pancreatitis.
Article in BMC gastroenterology, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 43 papers.
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 the predictive value of serum albumin (ALB) for persistent organ failure (POF) in acute pancreatitis (AP).
methodsWe selected 158 patients with AP in this retrospective study from Jan.1st, 2015 to Dec.31st, 2015. Forty-six patients were diagnosed with POF. All the values of laboratory parameters were measured upon admission to hospital. And 48 h after admission, we examined serum albumin of each patient again, called 'ALB2'. Uni-and multi-variate logistic regression were used to evaluate the impact of ALB to predict POF.
resultsThe median age of the whole population was 48 years and 53.8% were male. The admission-time albumin of AP patients with POF was distinctly lower than patients without POF (28.9 (25.3-33.1) g/L vs. 38.5 (34.0-40.1) g/L, p < 0.001). In uni-variate analysis, WBC, PT, GLU, LDH, ALB, ALB2, BUN, Ca, HDL-C and Ranson were significantly associated with POF. After multivariate regression, ALB remained an independent prognostic factor for POF in AP (OR: 0.748, 95%CI: 0.645-0.868; p < 0.05). The AUC for ALB is 0.873 (0.808, 0.938), even larger than that for Ranson, 0.845 (0.634, 0.913).
conclusionsWe identified serum albumin predictive to persistent organ failure in acute pancreatitis.
