The Neutrophil-to-Albumin Ratio as a New Predictor of All-Cause Mortality in Patients with Heart Failure.
Article in Journal of inflammation research, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 53 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
backgroundNeutrophils and albumin had been shown to be independent predictors of mortality from various diseases. Purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of neutrophil-to-albumin ratio (NPAR) as an independent predictor of mortality in heart failure (HF) patients.
methodsData were extracted from Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care-III database. Primary outcome was 30-day mortality, secondary outcomes were in-hospital, 90-day, 365-day mortality, length of stay (LOS) in hospital. Cox proportional hazards regression model and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis and Pearson correlation analysis were used.
resultsThe HR (95% CI) values of the mid-tertile and the upper tertile were 1.27 (1.01 to 1.59) and 2.29 (1.87 to 2.81) in 30-day mortality compared with the reference. The trend continued after adjusted for demographic and clinical variables. In the secondary outcomes were the same trends. The data of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University showed the correlation coefficient between hospital LOS with NPAR.
conclusionNPAR was an independent factor of mortality in HF patients, which was correlated with hospital LOS. Our results need to be verified by prospective studies.
