The role of serum albumin and albumin-related nutritional indices in predicting post-stroke cognitive impairment: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

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 role of serum albumin levels and albumin-related nutritional indices in the prediction of cognitive impairment after stroke has not reached a uniform conclusion. Methods: This study was prospectively registered in PROSPERO (CRD420251012150) and followed the PRISMA guidelines. We systematically searched six databases with a time frame from the date of database establishment to March 29, 2025. Literature selection and data collection were conducted by two researchers. Assessment of literature quality was performed according to the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS). Weighted mean difference (WMD) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) was used to express pooled effect sizes. The chi-square (χ2) test (Cochran's Q) and index of inconsistency ( Results: A total of 9 studies involving 2,332 stroke patients were included in this meta-analysis. The results of this study showed that serum albumin levels (WMD: -3.85; 95% CI: -5.61, -2.09; Conclusion: Decreased serum albumin levels and albumin-related nutritional indices (GNRI and HALP scores) have a strong correlation with PSCI, which may become important indicators for early prediction of the development of PSCI.
