Predictive Value of the Serum CRP/Prealbumin Ratio for Sepsis in Pregnant and Postpartum Women.
Article in Journal of pregnancy, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
purposeTo monitor serum C-reactive protein (CRP) and prealbumin (PA) levels and assess the clinical value of their ratio (CRP/PA) for predicting perioperative sepsis in puerperal women.
methodsWe prospectively enrolled 142 pregnant (n = 77) and postpartum (n = 65) women with suspected sepsis who were treated at the Maternal and Child Health Hospital of Hubei Province between August 2021 and March 2023. Among them, 110 and 32 patients who were admitted to the Department of Internal Medicine and adult intensive care unit (ICU) were assigned to the mild and severe sepsis groups, respectively. For each patient, the respiratory rate, heart rate, and blood pressure were recorded; blood samples were collected on the day of admission and after 72 h of treatment; serum CRP and PA levels were determined; and their CRP/PA ratio was calculated. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were used to evaluate the ability of the various indicators to predict septic shock.
resultsThe serum CRP/PA ratio, procalcitonin (PCT) level, and serum amyloid A (SAA) protein level were significantly greater in the severe sepsis group than in the mild sepsis group (p < 0.05). In the severe sepsis group, the serum CRP/PA ratio and PCT level were significantly greater after 72 h of treatment than on the day of diagnosis (p < 0.05).
conclusionThe CRP/PA ratio has a predictive value, with an increased ratio indicating an increased risk of septic shock.
