The lactate-to-albumin ratio relationship with all-cause mortality in cerebral infarction patients: analysis from the MIMIC-IV database.
Article in Frontiers in neurology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Objective: To examine the association of lactate-to-albumin ratio (LAR) with 30-day and 90-day mortality in patients with cerebral infarction admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU). Methods: In this retrospective observational study, 1,089 patients with cerebral infarction were recruited. The concentration of blood lactate and serum albumin on the first day of ICU admission were recorded. The relationship between LAR levels and mortality was evaluated through univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses, four-knot multivariate restricted cubic spline regression, and Kaplan-Meier (KM) curves. Results: The overall 30-day and 90-day mortality rates in the entire cohort were 27.3 and 35.8%, respectively. KM analysis revealed a significant relationship between high LAR index and the risk of all-cause mortality (log-rank Conclusion: In summary, the LAR index is a reliable and independent predictor of increased mortality among critically ill patients suffering from cerebral infarction. Nonetheless, there is a need for additional comprehensive prospective studies to validate these findings.
