The Neutrophil Percentage-to-Albumin Ratio Is Associated with All-Cause Mortality in Critically Ill Patients with Acute Kidney Injury.
Article in BioMed research international, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 79 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
backgroundThere is no evidence to suggest the predictive power of neutrophil percentage-to-albumin ratio (NPAR) in patients with acute kidney injury (AKI). We hypothesized that NPAR would correlate with all-cause mortality in critically ill patients with AKI.
methodsFrom the MIMIC-III V1.4 database, we extracted demographics, vital signs, comorbidities, laboratory tests, and other clinical data. The clinical endpoints were 30-, 90- and 365-day all-cause mortality in critically ill patients with AKI. Cox proportional hazards models were used to evaluate the prognostic values of NPAR, and subgroup analyses were performed to measure mortality across various subgroups.
resultsA total of 7,481 eligible subjects were enrolled. In multivariate analysis, after adjustments for age, ethnicity, gender, and other confounding factors, higher NPARs were associated with an increased risk of 30-, 90- and 365-day all-cause mortality in critically ill patients with AKI (tertile 3 versus tertile 1: adjusted HR, 95% CI: 1.48, 1.30-1.69; 1.47, 1.31-1.66; 1.46, 1.32-1.62, respectively;
conclusionsIncreased NPAR correlates with increased risk of all-cause mortality in critically ill patients with AKI.
