Association between Early Phase Serum Albumin Levels and Outcomes of Post-Cardiac Arrest Patients: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Review in Journal of personalized medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
We aimed to evaluate early phase serum albumin levels in and outcomes of resuscitated patients after cardiac arrest. Medline, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library were systematically searched until 4 July 2022, for studies on post-cardiac arrest patients and involving measurement of early phase albumin levels and assessment of in-hospital mortality or neurologic outcomes. Two reviewers independently assessed the methodological quality of the included studies using the Quality in Prognosis Studies tool. We included 3837 patients from seven observational studies in this systematic review and meta-analysis. The serum albumin level was significantly higher in survivors than in non-survivors, showing a positive association with an overall standardized mean difference (SMD) [(mean value of non-survivors—mean value of survivors)/pooled standard deviation] of 0.55 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.48−0.62; I2 = 0%; p < 0.001). Additionally, the serum albumin level was significantly higher in the good neurologic outcome group than in the poor neurologic outcome group (four studies; SMD = 1.01, 95% CI = 0.49−1.52, I2 = 87%; p < 0.001). Relatively low serum albumin levels in the early phase may be associated with in-hospital mortality of resuscitated patients after cardiac arrest. However, we could not evaluate the association between albumin level and neurologic outcome because of limited included studies and unresolved high heterogeneity.
