1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

The aim of this study was to investigate the correlation between lactate-albumin ratio (LAR) and 28-day mortality in patients with sepsis combined with acute kidney failure (SA-AKI). The study was based on the eICU database and collected data from 1855 patients with SA-AKI. The relationship between LAR and 28-day in-hospital mortality was assessed using multivariate Cox regression models and Kaplan-Meier survival analysis. A generalised summation model was also used to analyse the non-linear relationship between LAR and mortality. The results showed that the 28-day in-hospital mortality rate of the patients was 19.46% (361/1,855), with a significant positive correlation between LAR and mortality (HR: 1.26, 95% CI: 1.18-1.35, p < 0.001). The Kaplan-Meier survival curve showed that the highest quartile of LAR (Q4) had the lowest survival rate. Non-linear analysis showed that when the LAR ratio was less than 2.1, mortality increased with each 1-unit increase in the LAR ratio, with an adjusted hazard ratio of 1.48 (95% CI 1.20, 1.84, p < 0.001). For patients with SA-AKI, a nonlinear relationship between LAR and 28-day risk of death was observed, with higher LAR associated with higher risk of mortality.
