Influence of Fibrinogen/Albumin Ratio and Fibrinogen/Pre-Albumin Ratio on Cardiac Autonomic Neuropathy in Type 2 Diabetes.

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
Purpose: Subclinical inflammation may be involved in the pathogenesis of diabetic cardiac autonomic neuropathy (DCAN). The purpose of the study is to explore the relationship between novel inflammation biomarkers fibrinogen-albumin ratio (FAR), fibrinogen-prealbumin ratio (FPR), and DCAN in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Patients and Methods: A total of 715 T2DM patients were enrolled in this retrospective study, divided into non-DCAN (n=565) and DCAN (n=150) groups by Ewing's test. Serum fibrinogen, albumin, prealbumin, routine inflammatory and other biochemical markers were measured. Results: Patients with versus without DCAN had higher FAR (10.29 ± 4.83 vs 7.22 ± 2.56 g/g, P < 0.001) and FPR (2.19 ± 1.85 vs 1.43 ± 0.93 g/mg, P < 0.001). As FAR and FPR quartiles increased, the incidence of DCAN increased (Quartile 1 vs Quartile 4: 8.4 vs 42.7%, 9.6 vs 39.2%, respectively, P < 0.001), heart rate variability parameters decreased (P < 0.001); the incidence of diabetic nephropathy, retinopathy and peripheral neuropathy tended to be higher and inflammation factors were more active (P < 0.01). FAR (OR, 95% CI: 1.16, 1.08-1.25, P < 0.001) and FPR (OR, 95% CI: 1.22, 1.03-1.44, P = 0.021) were independent determinants of DCAN; the risk of DCAN increased by approximately 65% and 27% with each increase in the standard deviation (SD) of FAR (OR per SD, 95% CI: 1.65, 1.29-2.11, P < 0.001) and FPR (OR per SD, 95% CI: 1.27, 1.04-1.56, P = 0.021). Conclusion: FAR and FPR are independent risk factors and may influence DCAN development through inflammation.
