Serum albumin (g/L)

The results of network meta-analysis for serum albumin (bottom left) and pairwise meta-analysis for urinary protein excretion (upper right). Treatment estimates are shown as mean differences (95% confidence intervals). The risk estimate is for the column-defining treatment compared to the row-defining treatment. Statistical significance is defined as 95% confidence intervals that do not overlap zero.
