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

Although prior research has investigated the link between fibrinogen and mortality risk, there is a notable lack of long-term cohort studies. This study seeks to examine the relationship between plasma fibrinogen levels and all-cause mortality. Fibrinogen levels were divided into low and high groups based on the median and further categorized into quartiles. Kaplan-Meier analysis was employed for survival analysis, and hazard ratios (HRs) were calculated using the Cox proportional hazards model. Our study included 5,690 participants, divided into a lower fibrinogen group (fibrinogen ≤ 370 mg/dL, N = 2,851) and a higher fibrinogen group (fibrinogen > 370 mg/dL, N = 2,839). The survival probability of the lower fibrinogen group was higher than that of the higher group (70.98% vs. 47.98%, P < 0.0001). All-cause mortality was higher in the higher fibrinogen group compared to the low fibrinogen group (HR 1.26, 95% CI 1.09-1.45, P = 0.002). Compared to Q1, mortality risk increased in Q2 (HR 1.26, 95% CI 1.00-1.59, P = 0.05), Q3 (HR 1.39, 95% CI 1.15-1.69, P < 0.001), and Q4 (HR 1.51, 95% CI 1.23-1.87, P < 0.001). Higher fibrinogen levels correlate with an elevated risk of all-cause mortality, suggesting fibrinogen is a potential biomarker for mortality risk.
