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

backgroundThis paper investigated the link between non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (NHHR) and diabetic kidney disease (DKD) in adult diabetic patients and identified the optimal NHHR value for impacting DKD.

methodsThis cross-sectional research made use of records from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) executed between 2005 and 2016. The link of NHHR to DKD risk was analyzed by logistic regression and restricted cubic spline (RCS) models. The stability and reliability of the results were assessed by subgroup analysis and sensitivity analysis.

resultsIn total, 4,177 participants were involved. As a continuous variable, NHHR was markedly connected to an increased risk of DKD (OR 1.07, 95% CI 1.02, 1.12, P < 0.01). When NHHR was grouped in quartiles, relative to the reference set, the highest NHHR group was also linked to a heightened risk of DKD (OR 1.23, 95% CI 1.01, 1.50, P < 0.05). The outcome of RCS show a "J" shaped correlation between NHHR and DKD risk (P for nonlinear = 0.0136). The risk of developing DKD was the lowest when NHHR equals 2.66. Subgroup analysis revealed that the link of NHHR to DKD persisted in participants aged below 40, females, non-smokers, and those without hyperuricemia. Sensitivity analysis demonstrated a certain robustness in this association.

conclusionA meaningful link is present between NHHR and DKD. An NHHR value of around 2.66 could represent the ideal cutoff for assessing DKD risk.
