Albumin-Bilirubin (ALBI) Score and Systemic Immune-Inflammation Indexes Used As Pretreatment Outcome Predictors in Patients With Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma Undergoing Robotic or Open Whipple Procedures: A Logistic Regression Analysis.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
Background Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is the most common type of pancreatic cancer (PC) in the United States. In patients with resectable PC, identification of pretreatment biomarkers before surgery can help in the decision-making process by weighing the benefits of neo-adjuvant therapy, surgical procedure, and adjuvant therapy. The purpose of this study was to determine if the albumin-bilirubin (ALBI) score and immune-inflammatory marker levels can be used in combination as pretreatment predictors of mortality risk in patients undergoing the Whipple procedure (alternatively, pancreatoduodenectomy (PD)) for PDAC. Methods This retrospective study included 115 patients with PDAC who underwent open or robotic Whipple procedures between January 2013 and December 2022 at a single tertiary medical center. Logistic regression analysis was used to find the association between predictors and mortality. Machine learning algorithms were used to calculate the performance of the different models. Results Bivariate analysis showed that the variables "sex" and "body mass index (BMI)" had a potential association with mortality, although statistical significance was not achieved for sex (p = 0.07). Patients with BMIs >25 kg/m
