Serum globulin is a novel predictor of mortality in patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis.
Article in Scientific reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Serum globulin, which is composed mainly of immunoglobulins and acute phase proteins, can be considered as reflecting the inflammatory state. We conducted the present study to investigate the role of globulin in mortality risk in patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis (PD). The study participants were categorized by the median globulin value (2.8 g/dL) as the high globulin group (≥ 2.8 g/dL), and low globulin group (< 2.8 g/dL). Serum globulin is calculated by the equation: (serum total protein-serum albumin). The area under the curve (AUC) by the receiver operating characteristics curve analysis was calculated to compare the mortality prediction capacity of globulin with that of ferritin, and WBC counts. Among the 554 patients, 265 (47.83%) were men, the mean age was 52.91 ± 15.54 years and the body mass index was 23.44 ± 3.88 kg/m
