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

backgroundTriglyceride/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (TG/HDL-c) ratio varies with vascular and other metabolic diseases. However, its role in acute type B aortic dissection is not well understood. In the current study, we evaluated the relationship between TG/HDL-c ratio and in-hospital mortality in type B aortic dissection.

methodsWe performed a retrospective analysis of consecutive patients between January 2015 and December 2018, by targeting dependent (TG/HDL-c ratio) and independent (in-hospital mortality) variables. TG/HDL-c ratio was determined as a division of TG levels by HDL-c levels.

resultsOf 523 patients in the study, we found a mean age of 55.00 ± 11.74 years, 15.68% of them being female. A fully-adjusted model revealed a positive relationship between TG/HDL-c ratio and in-hospital mortality in acute type B aortic dissection after adjusting confounders (OR = 2.08, 95% CI 1.32 to 3.27). This relationship was also nonlinear, with a point of 2.05. OR values (and confidence intervals) for the right (>2.05) and left (≤2.05) sides of the inflection point were 1.0 (0.580-1.26,

conclusionsThe TG/HDL-c ratio and in-hospital mortality in type B AAD have a nonlinear relationship among Chinese population. This ratio increased in-hospital mortality when it is less than 2.05.
