The C-reactive protein/albumin ratio as a nutritional biomarker in maintenance hemodialysis patients: a cross-sectional study of malnutrition-inflammation status assessment.
Article in Frontiers in medicine, 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
Background: The C-reactive protein to albumin ratio (CAR) is a biomarker associated with various diseases; however, its significance in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients remains unclear. This study sought to explore the relationship between the Malnutrition-Inflammation Score (MIS) and CAR in this population. Methods: In a cross-sectional study, 231 adult MHD patients were enrolled and categorized into high ( Results: Significant differences were observed in albumin, CRP, CAR, and RAR levels (all Conclusion: CAR is independently associated with the MIS in MHD patients and may serve as a valuable biomarker, underscoring its potential value for clinical nutritional management of this patient population.
