Association between neutrophil percentage-to-albumin ratio and breast cancer in adult women in the US: findings from the NHANES.
Article in Frontiers in nutrition, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
Background: An increasing number of studies suggests an association between systemic inflammation, nutritional status, and cancer. However, the relationship between the prevalence of breast cancer (BC) and the neutrophil-percentage-to-albumin ratio (NPAR), a recently identified biomarker of inflammation, is not well established. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the relationship between BC risk and the NPAR. Methods: This study included 18,726 participants from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) conducted between 2001 and 2018. The NPAR was used to assess inflammation and nutritional status. Statistical methods such as multivariate logistic regression, subgroup analysis, and restricted cubic spline (RCS) analysis were conducted to investigate the influence of NPAR on the prevalence of BC. In addition, propensity score matching was employed to further validate the findings. Results: The logistic regression results showed that the prevalence of breast cancer is significantly associated with the NPAR (OR = 1.05; 95% CI = 1.02-1.09, Conclusion: A significant association was observed between a high NPAR and a higher prevalence of breast cancer, which could be attributable to sex hormone levels. This finding suggests that the NPAR may serve as a biomarker for BC in adult women in the US.
