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

Remnant cholesterol (RC) is highly regarded in the cardiovascular field; however, its relationship with new-onset diabetes remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between RC and the risk of developing diabetes, as well as its interaction with low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-c). This was a secondary analysis of a retrospective cohort study based on a Chinese population. A multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression was initially employed to assess the relationship between RC and newly diagnosed diabetes. This was followed by a subgroup analysis to explore intergroup heterogeneity. A clinical prediction model was then developed. Finally, the study further analyzed the interactions between LDL-c and RC. After adjusting for confounding factors, RC was significantly associated with an increased risk of diabetes (HR = 1.46, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.36-1.57). Furthermore, this relationship was nonlinear, with an inflection point of 0.48 identified through the piecewise model. Subgroup analysis indicated that the association was more pronounced in individuals under 60 years and those with a body mass index < 24 kg/m2 (P for interaction = 0.0004, <0.0001, respectively). RC proved to be a more effective predictor of diabetes compared to other lipid profiles, and the clinical prediction model was successfully constructed. Notably, individuals in the low LDL-c/high RC group were found to have a 1.41-fold (95% CI 1.281.55) greater risk compared to those in the low LDL-c/low RC group. Significant correlations were observed between baseline RC levels and the risk of new-onset diabetes. Elevated RC was a strong predictor of diabetes risk, irrespective of LDL-c levels.
