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

Serum albumin (SA) is associated with inflammation and thrombosis, which are involved in acute aortic dissection (AAD). Our aim was to investigate the effect of SA level on survival in patients with AAD.We analyzed 777 patients with AAD. The patients were divided into hypoalbuminemia and non-hypoalbuminemia groups according to their AAD Stanford classification. Multivariable Cox regression was used to investigate the association between SA levels and in-hospital mortality in type A and B AAD.A total of 103 (13.3%) patients died in-hospital. The in-hospital mortality in type A and B patients with hypoalbuminemia was higher compared to those without (type A: 34.2% vs 13.9%, P <.001; type B: 7.9% vs 1.6%, P = .001). Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that survival was significantly lower in patients with hypoalbuminemia compared to those without, regardless of AAD type (type A: log-rank χ = 14.71; P <.001; Type B: log-rank χ = 10.42; P = .001). After adjusting for confounding factors, hypoalbuminemia was an independent predictor of in-hospital mortality in patients with either type A (HR, 2.492; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.247-4.979; P = .010) or type B (HR, 8.729; 95% CI, 1.825-41.736; P = .007).SA is independently associated with increased in-hospital mortality in both type A and B AAD.
