1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

introductionInflammation plays a crucial role in the pathophysiology of acute coronary syndrome (ACS). The C-reactive protein-to-albumin ratio (CAR) and uric acid-to-albumin ratio (UAR) are novel markers of systemic inflammation, and their clinical significance has not been elucidated in ACS.

aimThis study aims to evaluate the association between CAR and UAR with the severity of coronary artery disease (CAD) in patients with ACS undergoing coronary angiography, as assessed by the SYNTAX score (SS). MATERIALS AND

methodsThis is a hospital-based cross-sectional study conducted from November 2021 to October 2022. A total of 233 patients with ACS were enrolled in the study, who underwent relevant investigations. Coronary angiograms were used to diagnose the presence of CAD, and its severity was assessed using SS. The correlation between UAR and CAR with CAD severity, as measured by SS, was studied and compared in the study population.

resultsThe mean age of the study population was 57.17 ± 10.40 years, with average CAR and UAR values of 8.55 ± 11.05 and 1.62 ± 0.47, respectively. Pearson's correlation analysis showed significant positive correlations between CAR and SS (r = 0.779, p < 0.001) and between UAR and SS (r = 0.823, p < 0.001). Univariable logistic regression analysis indicated that C-reactive protein, serum uric acid, UAR, and CAR were significantly associated with an intermediate to high SS (p < 0.001).

conclusionThe present study demonstrated a significant association between CAR and UAR with the severity of CAD, as assessed by SS.
