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 no-reflow phenomenon (NR) following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is an unpredictable complication linked to increased in-hospital mortality and adverse cardiovascular outcomes. Reliable predictors of NR remain unclear. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the association between serum uric acid to albumin ratio (UAR) and NR development after PCI. A comprehensive search of MEDLINE, Cochrane, and EMBASE databases identified observational studies assessing this relationship. Studies that provided multivariate regression analyses to determine whether UAR is an independent predictor of NR were included, and pooled odds ratios (OR) were calculated using random effects models. Three studies with a total of 2,199 patients were included. The pooled analysis demonstrated a significant association between higher UAR and an increased risk of NR (OR: 3.04; 95% CI: 2.26-4.10; p < 0.00001; I² = 0%). These findings indicate that a higher serum UAR is independently associated with NR development and may serve as a useful, easily measurable predictor in clinical practice.
