The C-Reactive Protein/Albumin Ratio and Complete Blood Count Parameters as Indicators of Disease Activity in Patients with Takayasu Arteritis.
Article in Medical science monitor : international medical journal of experimental and clinical research, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 41 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
BACKGROUND This study aimed to evaluate the ratio of C-reactive protein (CRP) to albumin, inflammatory markers, and parameters from the complete blood count (CBC) in patients with Takayasu arteritis and the association with disease activity. MATERIAL AND METHODS A retrospective study included thirty-two patients with Takayasu arteritis and 32 healthy controls. Clinical and demographic characteristics of patients with Takayasu arteritis were recorded at baseline, before medication and on remission. Similar data were obtained for the controls at recruitment. Remission was defined as more than six months of stable disease without new vascular lesions in patients who previously had active disease. Kerr's criteria were used to define active Takayasu arteritis. RESULTS In patients with Takayasu arteritis, the erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), CRP, CRP/albumin ratio, red cell distribution width (RDW), neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), and monocyte-lymphocyte ratio (MLR) were significantly higher, and albumin and MPV were significantly lower compared with controls. The ESR, CRP, CRP/albumin ratio, NLR, PLR, and MLR were decreased in remission, whereas MPV was increased. CRP and the CRP/albumin ratio were positively correlated and albumin and MPV were negatively correlated with disease activity. The CRP/albumin ratio had the highest correlation with disease activity in Takayasu arteritis. The CRP/albumin ratio, RDW, NLR, PLR, and MLR were positively correlated with CRP and ESR. CONCLUSIONS The CRP/albumin ratio, RDW, NLR, PLR, MLR, and MPV were markers of remission of active disease, and the CRP/albumin ratio, total albumin, and MPV were markers of disease activity in Takayasu arteritis.
