Preoperative globulin-to-albumin ratio predicts outcome after curative resection in patients with gastric cancer.
Article in Annals of gastroenterological surgery, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
aimThe globulin-to-albumin ratio (GAR) is useful for prognostication of patients with various cancers. However, the significance of GAR in gastric cancer (GC) remains unclear. Our purpose was to investigate the relationship between the GAR and outcome after curative resection in GC patients.
methodsThree-hundred and seventy-six patients who had undergone curative resection for GC were retrospectively reviewed. Univariate and multivariate analyses using the Cox proportional hazard model were performed to detect clinical characteristics that correlated with overall survival (OS), and their cut-off values were identified using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analyses. Kaplan-Meier analysis and log-rank test were used for comparison of OS and relapse-free survival (RFS).
resultsMultivariate analysis using 17 clinical characteristics selected by univariate analyses revealed that GAR (>0.80/≤0.80) was significantly associated with OS (hazard ratio [HR], 2.305; 95% CI, 1.122-4.735;
conclusionsThe GAR is a useful predictor of postoperative outcome among GC patients undergoing curative resection.
