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

backgroundThe serum albumin-to-serum creatinine ratio (sACR) is independently associated with the prognosis of multiple diseases. However, its relationship with in-hospital mortality of patients with severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) remains unclear.

methodsPatients diagnosed with SAP between April 2016 and December 2023 were collected. These patients were categorized into low and high sACR groups based on an optimal cut-off value calculated using Youden's index. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was utilized to examine the relationship between sACR levels and the in-hospital mortality. Additionally, a limited restricted cubic spline (RCS) method was employed to evaluate the nonlinear relationship between sACR values and the risk of in-hospital mortality. The potential for unmeasured confounders between sACR levels and in-hospital mortality was also explored through the calculation of the E value.

resultsA total of 114 eligible patients were included in this sutdy. The multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated an independent association between sACR levels and in-hospital mortality (p < 0.001). The RCS analysis demonstrated a linear correlation between sACR values and the risk of in-hospital mortality (P for non-linearity > 0.05), where the risk increased as the sACR value decreased.

conclusionsThe research findings suggest that sACR levels are independently associated with in-hospital mortality of patients with SAP, providing a means for early identification of those at high risk of in-hospital mortality. This early identification may facilitate the optimizing and strengthening of treatments, ultimately leading to improved outcomes.
