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

backgroundIn this study, we evaluated the predictive utility of neutrophil percentage-to-albumin ratio (NPAR) for all-cause mortality in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF).

methodsPatients diagnosed as CHF enrolled in this retrospective cohort study were from Beijing Chaoyang Hospital, capital medical university. Admission NPAR was calculated as neutrophil percentage divided by serum albumin. The endpoints of this study were defined as 90-day, 1-year and 2-year all-cause mortality. Multivariable Cox proportional hazard regression model was performed to confirm the association between NPAR and all-cause mortality. Receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curves were used to evaluate the ability for NPAR to predict all-cause mortality.

resultsThe 90-day (P = 0.009), 1-year (P < 0.001) and 2-year (P < 0.001) all-cause mortality in 622 patients with CHF were increased as admission NPAR increased. Multivariable Cox regression analysis found the higher NPAR value was still independently associated with increased risk of 90-day (Group III versus Group I: HR, 95% CI: 2.21, 1.01-4.86, P trend = 0.038), 1-year (Group III versus Group I: HR, 95% CI:2.13, 1.30-3.49, P trend = 0.003), and 2-year all-cause mortality (Group III versus Group I: HR, 95% CI:2.06, 1.37-3.09, P trend = 0.001), after adjustments for several confounders. ROC curves revealed that NPAR had a better ability to predict all-cause mortality in patients with CHF, than either albumin or the neutrophil percentage alone.

conclusionsNPAR was independently correlated with 90-day, 1-year, and 2-year all-cause mortality in patients with CHF.
