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

objectiveTo investigate the correlations between the serum C-reactive protein (CRP)/albumin (Alb) ratio, electrolyte levels, and Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE) II scores in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), as well as their associations with prognosis.

methodsClinical data from 180 COPD patients recruited between March 2023 and August 2024 were analyzed. Patients were divided into RF (n=106) and non-RF groups (n=74). APACHE II scores were assessed within 24 hours of admission. Serum levels of CRP, Alb, Na

resultsAPACHE II scores were positively correlated with the CRP/Alb ratio (r=0.201, P=0.007) and negatively correlated with serum Ca

conclusionThe CRP/Alb ratio and electrolyte levels hold clinical value as potential biomarkers for evaluating disease severity and prognosis in COPD patients.
