Association between cytomegalovirus infection and dyslipidemia in US: an NHANES analysis.
Article in European journal of clinical microbiology & infectious diseases : official publication of the European Society of Clinical Microbiology, 2024. 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
backgroundCytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is widely prevalent worldwide, which may have relationship with dyslipidemia. The aim of this study is to explore the association between CMV infection and dyslipidemia.
methodsThe total observed population of this study included 14,163 participants aged 6-49 years from 1999 to 2004 National Health and Nutritional Examination Surveys (NHANES). Immunoglobulin G (IgG) levels and four lipid parameters (triglyceride, low density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C), total cholesterol, and high density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C)) were analyzed by performing multiple logistic regression and subgroup analysis.
resultsThe median values of triglycerides, LDL-C and total cholesterol levels in the CMV positive group were higher than those in CMV negative group while a lower median value of HDL-C existed in positive group. After controlling for potential confounders (sex, age, race, country of birth, education, poverty-to-income ratio(PIR)), a close association between CMV infection and low HDL-C was observed, which persisted in the men aged 30-49 and women aged 12-19, 30-49.
conclusionsCMV infection is related to dyslipidemia, and this association is more significant in the serum HDL-C. Further cohort studies and experimental evidences can be conducted to test this association and then guide clinical practice.
