Correlation between serum albumin and serum zinc in malignant lymphoma.
Article in Fujita medical journal, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Objectives: Zinc (Zn) is a cofactor for more than 200 enzymes within the human body. Zn deficiency can result in cell-mediated immune dysfunction. Furthermore, serum Zn levels have been reported to be associated with nutritional status, but this association has not been clarified in malignant lymphoma. This study aimed to examine the deficiency of serum Zn levels and clarify the factors that are correlated with serum Zn in malignant lymphoma. Methods: Initial malignant lymphoma was diagnosed in patients at Fujita Health University Hospital between April 2011 and March 2019. Based on the serum Zn levels, the study population was divided into "deficient" and "low or normal". For the serum Zn levels of patients undergoing pre-chemotherapy, laboratory parameters and nutritional factors were included. We compared these factors between the abovementioned two groups, and the serum Zn levels with its correlation factors were investigated. Results: A total of 77 patients (Deficient group, n=20 and Low or Normal group, n=57) were enrolled. Histology, hemoglobin, serum albumin levels, Glasgow Prognostic Score (GPS), neutrophile-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), prognostic nutrition index (PNI) and Controlling Nutritional Status (CONUT) were significantly different between the two groups. Of these parameters, only serum albumin level was significantly associated with serum Zn level (p=0.0024; estimated regression coefficient, 9.51; adjusted coefficient of determination, 0.28). Conclusions: Poor nutritional status at the initial diagnosis may have affected Zn deficiency in initial malignant lymphoma.
