The relationship between fibrinogen-to-albumin ratio and brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity in elderly individuals in China: a cross-sectional study.
Article in Frontiers in cardiovascular medicine, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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: Arteriosclerosis, a hallmark of vascular aging, can be assessed using brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV). The fibrinogen-to-albumin ratio (FAR), a novel marker reflecting inflammation and hemodynamics, has been proposed as a potential indicator for cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, the association between FAR and baPWV has not been fully elucidated. This study seeks to investigate this association. Methods: A total of 389 elderly patients were enrolled. Arteriosclerosis was defined as a baPWV ≥1,800 cm/s. Participants were divided into four groups according to FAR quartiles. Multivariate logistic regression was used to assess the association between FAR quartiles and arteriosclerosis. Restricted cubic spline (RCS) analysis was additionally employed to examine the dose-response relationship between continuous FAR and arteriosclerosis risk. Results: The prevalence of arteriosclerosis increased significantly with increasing FAR quartiles (61.2%, 61.9%, 77.3%, 86.6%; Conclusions: In elderly adults, FAR is independently and positively associated with baPWV, suggesting its potential as an additional biomarker for evaluating vascular aging.
