The role of albumin-globulin ratio in peripheral arterial disease among hypertensive adults: evidence from a large-scale multicenter study.
Article in Frontiers in endocrinology, 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
Objective: With the aging population of China, a higher prevalence of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is observed. The albumin-globulin ratio (AGR) has a certain value in predicting cardiovascular mortality, but little research has been conducted on the association between AGR and PAD. Therefore, this study aims to explore the association between AGR and PAD in hypertensive adults. Methods: This retrospective cross-sectional study recruited a total of 28, 684 participants from March 2018 to August 2018 in Wuyuan County, Jiangxi Province, and Yuexi County, Anhui Province. A generalized additive model was utilized to analyze the relationship between AGR and PAD. Result: A total of 24, 808 hypertensive adults were included in this study. The regression analysis of the generalized additive model revealed an inverse association between AGR and PAD when AGR was set as a continuous variable. Further analysis with AGR divided into quartiles indicated a lower risk of peripheral artery disease in the Q2, Q3, and Q4 groups compared with the Q1 group. Specifically, in the fully adjusted model (Model 3), the risk of peripheral artery disease in the Q2, Q3, and Q4 groups decreased by 11% (OR: 0.89; 95%CI: 0.71-1.10; Conclusion: A negative association was observed between AGR and PAD, with this relationship being particularly pronounced in individuals who smoke or have a history of stroke.
