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

AIMS/

introductionThe correlation between triglyceride to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (TG/HDL-C) ratio variability and incident diabetes has not been fully elucidated. We aimed to characterize the relationship between TG/HDL-C ratio variability and new-onset diabetes in Chinese adults. MATERIALS AND

methodsA total of 45,911 patients with three TG and HDL measurements between 2006 and 2011 were enrolled. Average real variability (ARV) were used to evaluate variability, and participants were grouped according to tertiles of TG/HDL-ARV.

resultsThere were 3,724 cases of incident diabetes mellitus during the observation period (6.24 ± 1.2 years). The 7-year cumulative incidences of diabetes mellitus in tertiles 1, 2 and 3 were 6.13%, 8.09% and 11.77%, respectively. New-onset diabetes increased with the tertiles of TG/HDL-ARV. This association was further confirmed after adjustment for mean TG/HDL-C ratio, TG/HDL-C ratio change slope, fasting plasma glucose variability (ARV) and other traditional risk factors for diabetes, the hazard ratio value for incident diabetes was 1.38 (1.25-1.50) for the highest tertile, and risk of diabetes increases by 4% with a one standard deviation increase in TG/HDL-C ratio variability. Restricted cubic splines showed a dose-response relationship between TG/HDL-C ratio variability and incident diabetes. Similar results were obtained in various subgroup and sensitivity analyses.

conclusionsHigh TG/HDL-C variability was associated with a higher risk of diabetes in Chinese adults, independent of the direction of TG/HDL-C variability.
