The association between neutrophil percentage to albumin ratio and progression-free survival and overall survival in colorectal cancer patients: a retrospective cohort study.
Article in Frontiers in nutrition, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers.
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
Background: The neutrophil percentage-to-albumin ratio (NPAR) is a promising indicator for predicting outcomes in various cancers. However, its prognostic value in colorectal cancer (CRC) is still underexplored. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between NPAR and progression-free survival (PFS) as well as overall survival (OS) in CRC patients. Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study involving 1,339 CRC patients who underwent surgical resection. The Kaplan-Meier method was utilized to plot survival curves for PFS and OS. Cox proportional hazards regression analysis assessed the relationship between NPAR and survival outcomes. The nomograms that included NPAR and other significant prognostic factors were developed to predict 1-, 3-, and 5-year survival rates. Results: Patients with high NPAR (≥1.62) experienced significantly worse PFS and OS compared to those with low NPAR (<1.62) (PFS: 47.4% vs. 63.1%, Conclusion: Preoperative NPAR is a promising indicator for predicting PFS and OS in CRC patients. The NPAR-based nomogram offers a practical tool for personalized survival prediction and may assist in clinical decision-making.
