The relationship between neutrophil percentage-to-albumin ratio and slow and normal coronary flow phenomenon.
Article in BMC cardiovascular disorders, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundThe relationship between several inflammatory biomarkers and slow coronary flow phenomenon(SCFP) has been reported. However, the correlation between neutrophil percentage-to-albumin ratio (NPAR) and SCFP is lacking. In this study, we aimed to assess the relationship between NPAR and SCFP.
methodsA total of 228 patients were enrolled in this study according to the diagnostic and exclusion criteria. 76 patients were included in the SCFP group, and 152 age-matched patients were included in the normal coronary flow (NCF) group. The baseline data, laboratory parameters and coronary angiography were recorded and compared.
resultsThe values of NPAR were significantly higher in the SCFP group than those in the NCF group (1.78[1.58,1.88] vs. 1.42[1.24,1.66], P < 0.001). NPAR elevated as the number of vessels involved SCFP increased. In the multiple logistic regression tests, NPAR was an independent predictor of SCFP (OR: 1.239, 95%CI: 1.124-1.367, p < 0.001). The receiver operating characteristic curve analysis showed that the cutoff value of NPAR for predicting SCFP was > 1.57 with a 76.3% sensitivity and 67.1% specificity [the area under the curve (AUC) = 0.727, 95%CI: 0.659-0.795, p < 0.001]. NPAR had a better predictive value of SCFP than neutrophil percentage, but not albumin.
conclusionElevated NPAR may be an independent and valuable predictor of SCFP.
