Prognostic value of albumin-related ratios in HBV-associated decompensated cirrhosis.
Article in Journal of clinical laboratory analysis, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
backgroundIdentification of effective and accurate prognostic biomarkers for hepatitis B virus-associated decompensated cirrhosis (HBV-DeCi) is challenging. This study was designed to determine and compare the prognostic value of albumin-related ratios (blood urea nitrogen-to-albumin ratio [BAR], C-reactive protein-to-albumin ratio [CAR], prothrombin time-international normalized ratio-to-albumin ratio [PTAR], neutrophil count-to-albumin ratio [NAR], and D-dimer-to-albumin ratio [DAR]) in HBV-DeCi patients.
methodsWe retrospectively recruited 161 HBV-DeCi patients. Receiver operating characteristic curve, DeLong test, and Cox regression analyses were used to estimate and compare the predictive value of these five albumin-related ratios and Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) score.
resultsA total of 29 (18.0%) patients had died 30 days after admission. The prognostic roles of CAR, DAR, PTAR, NAR, and BAR in HBV-DeCi were different. CAR, PTAR, NAR, and BAR were significantly higher in non-survivors compared with survivors. However, DAR did not differ between the two groups. The predictive power of BAR was superior to that of the other four albumin-related biomarkers and similar to that of MELD score. On multivariate analysis, BAR and MELD score were identified as independent prognostic factors, and the combination of BAR and MELD score may improve the prognostic accuracy in HBV-DeCi.
conclusionThe present findings suggest that BAR may be a simple and useful prognostic tool to predict mortality in HBV-DeCi patients.
