Article in Heliyon, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07343830 (The Role of Preoperative Inflammation Markers, Renal Function, and Perfusion Stress in Predicting Acute Kidney Injury After Cardiac Surgery Under Cardiopulmonary Bypass), which is not on this map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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.

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.

Abstract

The aim of this study was to evaluate the preoperative C-reactive protein (CRP) to albumin ratio (CAR) of patients with gastric cancer and to investigate the factors correlated with perioperative complications. From March 2016 to December 2019, 128 patients who underwent curative gastrectomy for gastric cancer were enrolled in a retrospective study. The preoperative cutoff value of the CAR for predicting postoperative complications was 0.265 on receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. Clinical characteristics were compared between patients with complications (Clavien-Dindo grade ≥2, n = 20) and without complications (Clavien-Dindo grade <2, n = 108). On univariate and multivariate analyses, estimated blood loss (EBL) during the operation (HR 1.003,
