Urea / Albumin and CRP / Albumin Ratios as Predictors of Outcomes in Pediatric Sepsis - A Comparative Analysis of Mortality Prediction Using the PIM-3 Score.
Article in Indian journal of pediatrics, 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
Pediatric sepsis requires early risk identification to enable timely intervention, optimize resource allocation, and improve survival outcomes. This study aims to assess the validity of simple biomarkers, such as the Urea / Albumin ratio and the CRP / Albumin ratio, in predicting outcomes and to compare their performance with the Pediatric Index of Mortality-3 (PIM-3) score for predicting mortality. The cohort study was conducted at a Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) and included children aged 1 mo to 12 y with sepsis. For predicting mortality, the CRP / Albumin ratio (cut-off 21.5) had an Area Under the Curve (AUC) of 0.684, while the Urea / Albumin ratio (cut-off 8.28) and PIM-3 score showed an AUC of 0.852 and 0.830, respectively. The Urea / Albumin ratio showed comparable performance with the PIM-3 score. Additionally, the predictive performance for both ratios was modest for mechanical ventilation and acceptable for inotropes. A higher CRP / Albumin ratio was associated with longer PICU stays (≥5 d).
