Predictive Value of Uric Acid/Albumin Ratio for Postoperative Atrial Fibrillation Following Isolated Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery.
Article in Brazilian journal of cardiovascular surgery, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
introductionPostoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) is associated with an increased risk of morbidity and mortality. This study aims to investigate the predictive value of uric acid/albumin ratio (UAR) for POAF following isolated coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).
methodsThis retrospective study screened patients who underwent isolated CABG between June 2017 and January 2024. POAF was diagnosed using standard clinical criteria. UAR was calculated by dividing the uric acid level by the albumin value.
resultsThis study included a total of 396 patients, who were categorized into two groups: POAF- and POAF+. Among them, 321 patients (mean age: 61.7 ± 10.8 years; 74.7% male) belonged to the POAF- group, while 75 patients (mean age: 71.3 ± 10.04 years; 68.1% male) were in the POAF+ group. While there were no significant differences observed between the groups in terms of sex, those in the POAF+ group were statistically older. The univariate and multivariate regression analyses revealed that age, C-reactive protein, hypertension, serum uric acid level, and UAR are independent risk factors for POAF. In the receiver operating characteristics analysis, the UAR (area under the curve [AUC]: 0.775) was found to be a better indicator compared to uric acid (AUC: 0.649) and serum albumin (AUC: 0.606), with a sensitivity of 70.5% and a specificity of 69.2%.
conclusionUAR was shown to be an independent risk factor for POAF following isolated CABG.
