Clinical significance of the globulin-to-albumin ratio for prediction of postoperative survival in patients with colorectal 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 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
aimA previous study has revealed that the albumin/globulin ratio (GAR) before treatment is a predictor of cancer-specific survival in patients with colorectal cancer (CRC). The aim of the present study was to investigate the clinical significance of GAR for prediction of postoperative survival in patients with CRC.
methodsNine hundred and forty-one patients who had undergone elective CRC surgery were enrolled. Uni- and multivariate analysis models were performed to detect the clinical characteristics that were most closely associated with overall survival (OS). All recommended cutoff values were defined using receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) analyses. Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to compare the OS curves between the high GAR (GAR > 0.83) and low GAR (GAR ≤ 0.83) groups.
resultsMultivariate analysis using eight clinical characteristics selected by univariate analyses showed that the GAR was associated with OS (>0.83/≤0.83) (hazard ratio [HR], 1.979; 95% CI, 1.321-2.966;
conclusionGlobulin-to-albumin ratio is a useful predictor of postoperative survival in patients with CRC.
