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

Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) remain a leading cause of global mortality, with atherosclerosis and inflammation playing pivotal roles in their development. The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and neutrophil-to-HDL cholesterol ratio (NHR) have emerged as potential biomarkers for assessing CVD risk. In this community-based cohort study conducted in Taiwan, involving 3278 participants, we investigated the associations between NHR, NLR, and the risks of CVD and all-cause mortality. Our findings revealed that both NHR and NLR were effective in identifying individuals at high risk for CVD. However, when assessing their joint effect, NHR alone demonstrated a stronger predictive value for CVD prognosis than NLR or the combination of both markers. Furthermore, NLR alone showed potential as a predictor of all-cause mortality when compared with NHR alone or in combination with NLR and NHR. These findings underscore the complex interplay between inflammation and lipid metabolism in the pathogenesis of CVD. While NHR shows promise as a cost-effective tool for CVD risk assessment, NLR emerges potential as a prognostic marker for mortality. Further research is warranted to explore the dynamic changes in these markers and their implications for clinical practice.
