Positive association between LDH to albumin ratio and arthritis: A cross-sectional NHANES study (1999-2010).
Article in Medicine, 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
Arthritis is a prevalent condition posing a significant threat to human health. The lactate dehydrogenase to albumin ratio (LAR) has been recognized as a key indicator for the onset and progression of various diseases. However, its association with arthritis remains incompletely investigated. This cross-sectional study analyzed data from adult participants in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (1999-2010). Arthritis identification was based on self-reported information. We employed weighted logistic regression analysis to assess the odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) for the association between log2-transformed LAR (log2(LAR)) and arthritis. We also employed subgroup and sensitivity analyses to evaluate the robustness of results. Among 8616 participants, 2229 had arthritis. After full covariate adjustment, log2(LAR) was significantly associated with arthritis (OR: 1.52; 95% CI: 1.16-2.01; P = .003). Participants in the highest log2(LAR) quartile had a 37% higher arthritis risk versus the lowest quartile (adjusted OR: 1.37; 95% CI: 1.07-1.74; P = .013). Subgroup and sensitivity analyses confirmed result stability. Elevated log2(LAR) levels were associated with increased risk of arthritis (OR: 1.52; 95% CI: 1.16-2.01; P = .003).
