Clinical Significance of Preoperative Albumin-Bilirubin Grade in Pancreatic Cancer.
Article in Annals of surgical oncology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 29 papers, 3 of them syntheses 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
backgroundNo study has clarified the clinical significance of albumin-bilirubin (ALBI) grade in a large cohort of pancreatic cancer patients.
methodsA total of 1006 consecutive patients diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and deemed eligible for surgical resection were analyzed. The ALBI score was calculated as: ALBI score = (log
resultsThe primary lesion could not be resected in 129 patients. Among all patients, overall survival (OS) was significantly worse in the ALBI high group than in the ALBI low group (P = 0.024). Overall, 877 patients underwent pancreatectomy. In these patients, the ALBI high group was associated with high CA19-9 level (P < 0.001), lower morbidity rate (P < 0.001), and pancreatic head tumor (P = 0.001). Patients' OS after resection was significantly worse in the ALBI high group than in the ALBI low group (P < 0.001). Cox proportional hazard analysis revealed ALBI grade as an independent predictor for prognosis (hazard ratio, 1.33; P = 0.015). Even in the CA19-9 negative patients, OS was significantly worse in the ALBI high group than in the ALBI low group (P = 0.046).
conclusionsThe ALBI grade is a clinically useful predictor for prognosis in pancreatic cancer patients.
