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
Purpose: Although preoperative C-Reactive Protein to Albumin Ratio(CAR) is one of the important indicators for surgical risk assessment, the relationship between preoperative CAR and postoperative outcomes in older patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery is still unclear. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to explore the relationship between preoperative CAR and adverse postoperative outcomes in older patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery. Patients and Methods: We conducted a secondary analysis of data from the multicenter, prospective, longitudinal study called Early-Warning model of Perioperative Adverse Events for Elderly Patients (EPAE). A total of 2511 individuals from seven centers in Guangdong province were included in this study. The CAR was the latest blood counts measured within 3 days prior to surgery. The primary outcome of interest in this study was Clavien-Dindo grade III (CD3) complications. Secondary outcomes included: overall morbidity, reoperation and readmission. This cohort compared baseline characteristics and clinical data between different groups based on the quartile of CAR. Multivariate logistic regression and restricted cubic spline analysis (RCS) were used to explore the relationship between CAR and adverse postoperative outcomes. Further, the subgroup analyses were also conducted. Results: Among the 2511 older patients enrolled in the study, 1524 individuals (60.7%) were females and the median age at admission was 69.0 years (65.0, 73.0). Multivariate logistic regression analysis and sensitivity analysis both revealed that high CAR is associated with a high incidence of CD3 complications, overall morbidity, and reoperation ( Conclusion: In older patients with non-cardiac surgery, high CAR was significantly associated with adverse postoperative outcomes, including CD3 complications, overall morbidity and reoperation.
