Serum Lactate-Albumin Ratio: Soothsayer for Outcome in Sepsis.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
aimThe aim of this study is to assess the efficacy of the serum lactate/albumin (L/A) ratio as a prognostic marker of sepsis syndrome. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis study was conducted in the Internal Medicine Department at Acharya Vinoba Bhave Rural Hospital with a sample size of 160 cases of sepsis. The serum L/A ratio was calculated on admission and correlated with deaths and morbidity. Statistical analysis was significant if the P-value was less than 0.05.
resultsThe mean age of patients was 52.83 ± 16.80 years with a male predominance (64.4% vs. 35.6%). The mean L/A ratio was 0.95 ± 0.46. The proportion of discharged subjects and mortality were 58.8% and 41.2%, respectively. The study found that a higher mean L/A ratio (1.1-1.44) was significantly linked to the various variables in the study. Furthermore, a significantly higher median L/A ratio of 1.23 was found in subjects with vasopressor use. The median L/A ratio in the Discharge group and Death group was 0.64 and 1.27, respectively. The area under the receiver operating characteristic (AUROC) curve indicated that accurate diagnostic performance was 0.976 in predicting Death versus Discharge for the L/A ratio.
conclusionThis study found that, compared to lactate and albumin alone, the predictor value of the L/A ratio was outstanding in predicting death and hospital stay (discharge) among sepsis participants, with a sensitivity of 100% and a specificity of 88%.
