C-reactive protein-to-prealbumin ratio as prognostic marker in hemodialysis patients with Omicron infection.
Article in Renal failure, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundHemodialysis patients frequently experience chronic inflammation and malnutrition, while C-reactive protein to prealbumin ratio (CP ratio) is a comprehensive assessment approach of inflammatory and nutritional status. Howerer, there is limited research on the prognostic value of the CP ratio specifically in hemodialysis patients infected with the Omicron variant.
methodsData from 847 hemodialysis patients, diagnosed with Omicron across 6 hemodialysis centers between December 2022 and February 2023, were analyzed. Hazard ratios were estimated using univariate and multivariable Cox regression, and receiver operating characteristic curves were used to evaluate the predictive abilities. Survival rate differences between higher and lower CP ratio groups were analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier method.
resultsFrom the total, 98 patients (11.6%) succumbed, with a majority (80/98) within a month post-infection. C-reactive protein, prealbumin, and CP ratio were all associated with all-cause mortality in the crude model. After adjusting for other confounding factors, the CP ratio remained an independent risk factor for all-cause mortality (HR 1.97; 95% CI 1.07-3.63;
conclusionsThis study underscores that CP ratio substantially influence the mortality rates in hemodialysis patients following Omicron infection. Careful monitoring and consideration of the CP ratio could inform more effective patient management strategies, potentially leading to reduced mortality rates in this vulnerable group.
