Risk prediction of all-cause mortality in hospitalized patients with severe acute pancreatitis by serum urea nitrogen/albumin ratio.
Article in PloS one, 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
backgroundClassification of risk levels in patients with acute pancreatitis remains a difficult task. Although some biomarkers have emerged to predict the prognosis of patients with acute pancreatitis, they have not been widely used in clinical practice for several reasons. This study aimed to investigate the correlation between the serum urea nitrogen-to-albumin ratio (BAR) and the mortality risk in ICU patients with acute pancreatitis.
methodThis was a retrospective study. Data were collected from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care IV (MIMIC IV 2.0). The primary outcome was in-hospital mortality in the patients with severe acute pancreatitis. In this study, multivariate logistic proportional regression analysis and restricted cubic spline regression were used to evaluate the association between serum urea nitrogen/albumin ratio and in-hospital mortality in patients with severe acute pancreatitis. In the sensitivity analysis, the Boruta and random forest algorithms were used to determine the feature importance of the serum urea nitrogen to albumin ratio, and subgroup analysis was used to explore the robustness of the results.
result726 patients were included in this study. The in-hospital mortality rate was 11.85%. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that BAR was independently associated with an increased risk of in-hospital mortality (odds ratio [HR], 1.081 [95% confidence interval [CI], 1.062-1.101]; P < 0.001). The restricted cubic spline regression model revealed that the risk of in-hospital mortality increased linearly with increasing BAR. Sensitivity analysis indicated that the results were stable. Additionally, the machine learning results suggested that the serum urea nitrogen to albumin ratio is an important feature for the outcomes of severe acute pancreatitis.
conclusionA high serum urea nitrogen to albumin ratio was significantly associated with in-hospital mortality in patients with severe acute pancreatitis.
