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

backgroundThe platelet-to-albumin ratio (PAR) has shown to be linked with cardiovascular disorders. However, the specific association between the admission PAR and one-year outcomes in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) remains to be fully characterized. This study investigated the linkage between PAR levels and the occurrence of one-year all-cause mortality and major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCEs) in the ACS population. PATIENTS AND

methodsThis retrospective cohort study enrolled patients diagnosed with ACS between January 2022 and December 2023. The primary endpoint was one-year all-cause mortality, and the secondary endpoint was MACCE, defined as a composite of all-cause mortality, non-fatal myocardial infarction, ischemic stroke, heart failure rehospitalization, target vessel revascularization or in-stent thrombosis, and malignant arrhythmia. To evaluate the relationship between PAR and these clinical events, we employed multivariate Cox proportional hazards models, restricted cubic splines (RCSs) and two-piecewise linear regression to identify potential non-linear associations and specific inflection points.

resultsA total of 1326 participants (median age: 67 years) were followed for one year, during which 137 (10.3%) deaths and 280 (21.1%) MACCE events occurred. The one-year all-cause mortality rates across the PAR quartiles (Q1-Q4) were 11.6%, 6.1%, 7.0% and 16.7%, respectively, with a similar trend observed for MACCE (22.1%, 15.2%, 18.7% and 28.5%). RCS analysis revealed significant nonlinear associations between the PAR and both clinical endpoints (all

conclusionsThe PAR demonstrates a significant nonlinear relationship with one-year all-cause mortality and MACCE in patients with ACS.
