A Time-to-Event Comparison of Immune and Endocrine Biomarkers and Latent Profiles in Hospitalisation: An Outcome-wide Approach.
Article in medRxiv : the preprint server for health sciences, 2026. 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
Background: Early identification of risk for hospitalisation is crucial to reducing public health burden. Immune and endocrine-related markers are robust indicators of disease in epidemiological studies, but their value has not been consistently established with severe disorders requiring hospitalisation. Patterning of biomarker expression through latent profile analysis (LPA), may improve predictive accuracy for clinical outcomes above individual biomarkers alone. Method: Four biomarkers (C-reactive protein; fibrinogen; leukocytes; insulin growth-factor-1) measured in the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing (ELSA) in 2008 were linked to administrative data on hospitalisations obtained from Hospital Episode Statistics (HES). Hospitalisation for 12 disease classes was monitored from 2008-2018 ( Findings: There were 9,419 cases of hospitalisation over the 10-year follow-up period. LPA of the four biomarkers indicated a three-profile solution offered greatest parsimony, categorised as Interpretation: LPA enabled more precise risk-stratification and subgroup-specific analyses, with profiles better characterising health outcomes requiring hospitalisation than individual biomarkers.
