Albumin-globulin ratio and mortality in patients on peritoneal dialysis: a retrospective study.
Article in BMC nephrology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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
backgroundAlbumin-globulin ratio (AGR), a variable based on serum albumin and non-albumin proteins, has been demonstrated as a predictor of mortality in patients with malignant neoplasm. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prognostic value of AGR on peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients.
methodsWe retrospectively analyzed 602 incident PD patients from January 1st, 2008, to December 31st, 2017, at our center and followed them until December 31st, 2018. Kaplan-Meier curves and multivariate Cox regression models were applied to analyze the association between AGR and all-cause of mortality and cardiovascular mortality.
resultsThe median follow-up time was 32.17 (interquartile range = 32.80) months. During follow-up, 131 (21.8%) patients died, including 57 patients (43.5%) who died due to cardiovascular diseases. Kaplan-Meier curves showed that patients with AGR > 1.26 had better rates of survival than those with AGR ≤ 1.25 (p < 0.001). After adjusting for potential confounders, the lower AGR level was significantly associated with an increased all-cause and cardiovascular mortality [hazard ratio (HR): 1.57, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.07-2.32, p = 0.022 and HR: 2.01, 95% CI: 1.10-3.69, p = 0.023 respectively].
conclusionsPatients with a low AGR level had an increased all-cause and cardiovascular mortality. AGR may be a useful index in identifying patients on PD at risk for CVD and all-cause of mortality.
