Neutrophil percentage to albumin ratio and advanced cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic syndrome in diabetes: a machine learning approach.
Article in European journal of medical research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundDiabetes mellitus (DM) has become an increasingly significant global health challenge, with rising complications and mortality rates. Patients with DM are at a higher risk for advanced Cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic (CKM) syndrome, underscoring the importance of early detection and precise prevention strategies. The neutrophil percentage to albumin ratio (NPAR), a composite biomarker, may be indicative of inflammatory dysregulation and nutritional status in patients with advanced CKM and DM. This study aims to explore the association between NPAR and advanced CKM in patients with diabetes.
methodsData were derived from six National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) cycles (1999-2020), including 9375 adults. Multivariable logistic regression analyses were conducted to assess the association of NPAR with advanced CKM in diabetes, and restricted cubic spline (RCS) regression was further applied to explore potential nonlinear relationships. Subgroup analyses were performed to explore differences across various population factors. Feature selection was carried out using the Boruta algorithm, and predictive performance was evaluated through receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis, calibration curves, and decision curve analysis (DCA).
resultsThis study found a positive association between NPAR and risk of advanced CKM in diabetes. The RCS analysis revealed that this positive correlation was linear. Subgroup analysis showed no significant interactions across groups. Feature selection identified 22 relevant variables, and the machine learning model demonstrated excellent predictive accuracy (Area under curve: 0.873 and 0.872 for training and validation sets). The calibration curves and DCA affirmed the model's clinical relevance.
conclusionsThis study suggests that an elevated NPAR may serve as a potential marker for advanced CKM in patients with diabetes. It holds potential as an adjunct tool for detection and management of advanced CKM in patients with DM, offering valuable insights for clinical practice.
