Relationship between disease impact scores and C-reactive protein/albumin ratio in patients with psoriatic arthritis.
Article in Croatian medical journal, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
aimTo evaluate the relationships between the C-reactive protein (CRP)/albumin ratio (CAR), neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet/lymphocyte ratio (PLR), and Disease Activity in Psoriatic Arthritis (DAPSA) and Psoriatic Arthritis Impact of Disease 12-item-questionnaire (PsAID-12) scores in patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA).
methodsThis cross-sectional study involved 160 (121 female) patients with PsA who were >18 years old and treated in the rheumatology clinic of Dışkapı Yıldırım Beyazıt Education and Research Hospital between January 2020 and January 2021. Demographic and clinical data, PsAID-12 and DAPSA scores, CRP, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), albumin level, neutrophil, lymphocyte, and platelet counts were recorded.
resultsThe mean age was 46.49±11.12 years; median (min-max) disease duration was 2 years (0.5-34). The PsAID score was ≥4 (high disease impact) in 74.4% of patients. Patients with high disease impact had significantly higher CRP, ESR, CAR, NLR, PLR, neutrophil counts, and DAPSA scores (P<0.001). PsAID scores significantly highly correlated with CRP (rho 0.864, P<0.001), DAPSA significantly highly correlated with the CAR (rho 0.890, P<0.001). Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis showed that the CAR (area under the curve [AUC] 0.901, P<0.05, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.855-0.947, NLR (AUC 0.759, P<0.05, 95% CI 0.680-0.838), and PLR (AUC 0.686, P<0.05, 95% CI 0.591-0.782) predicted high disease impact. The cut-off value for the CAR was 0.98.
conclusionThe CAR can be useful in daily practice as a simple and quick assessment method to evaluate disease impact in PsA.
