1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

To determine whether there is a link between serum albumin and mortality among participants in the elderly in Japan. This is a single-center,retrospective cohort study analysis of 253 old patients with dysphagia from Japan, conducted from January 2014 to January 2017. The primary outcome was mortality. We performed Cox regression analysis to compare the mortality between the two groups (divided by serum albumin = 3 g/dl). 253 patients were included in the analysis, of whom the number of serum albumin under 3 g/dl was 93. The log-rank test showed a significant longer mortality in the high group (serum albumin >  = 3 g/dl) compared with the low group (median, 382 vs. 176 days, P < 0.0001). Cox regression analysis showed that unadjusted HR for the high group relative to the low group was 0.40 (95% CI: 0.29-0.57; P < 0.001). After adjusting 3 models in multivariable analysis, serum albumin was significantly associated with mortality. The adjusted HRs (95% CI) for total mortality rates were 0.46 (0.33-0.65), 0.66 (0.44-0.99) and 0.64 (0.42-0.97), from model 2 to model 4. There is negative association between serum albumin and mortality in Japanese old people with dysphagia.
