Association of the blood urea nitrogen to serum albumin ratio and 28-day all-cause mortality in patients with cardiac arrest: a retrospective cohort study using the MIMIC-IV database.
Article in Frontiers in cardiovascular medicine, 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
Background: The blood urea nitrogen to serum albumin ratio (BAR) has been identified as a novel indicator of both inflammatory and nutritional status, exhibiting a correlation with adverse cardiovascular outcomes. Objective: To explore the association between the BAR and 28-day all-cause mortality in cardiac arrest patients who achieved return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) and were admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU). Methods: Data for patients with cardiac arrest were obtained from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care IV database. The outcome was 28-day all-cause mortality. Multivariable-adjusted Cox regression analysis, curve fitting, and threshold effects analysis were used to assess the relationship between the BAR and 28-day all-cause mortality in patients with cardiac arrest in the intensive care unit. Result: A total of 793 patients were included and divided into tertiles based on the BAR (Q1, Q2, Q3); 8-day all-cause mortality rates were 37.5%, 53.4%, and 63.8%, respectively ( Conclusion: This study identified a non-linear relationship between the BAR and 28-day all-cause mortality in patients with cardiac arrest.
