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

backgroundPreserved ratio impaired spirometry (PRISm) refers to a form of lung function deterioration, and previous studies have established the association with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). Research has also shown the association between COPD and lipid metabolism disturbances. Despite these findings, the association between lipid metabolism markers and PRISm remains poorly understood.

methodsThis analysis was conducted on the 2007-2012 data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), including a total of 9,431 participants. The Non-High-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol to High-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol Ratio (NHHR) was calculated based on lipid profiles, and PRISm patients were classified according to pulmonary function tests. To explore the association between NHHR and PRISm, multivariable logistic regression analysis was used.

resultsA strong linear association was observed between NHHR and PRISm. In Adjusted Model 2, the weighted multivariable logistic regression analysis revealed that each unit increase in NHHR increased the chance of developing PRISm by 8% (OR:1.08, 95%CI:1.01-1.16, P = 0.039).Participants within the highest NHHR tertile demonstrated a 1.36-fold increased likelihood of presenting with PRISm compared to those in the lowest NHHR tertile (OR:1.36, 95% CI: 1.01-1.83, P = 0.048). Additionally, weighted Restricted Cubic Spline affirmed a linear association between NHHR and PRISm (P for non-linearity = 0.637), while clear non-linear associations were found between NHHR and FEV

conclusionThese results indicate that NHHR is positively associated with PRISm and is significantly associated with the decline in lung function. This study offers distinctive perspectives that may contribute to the avoidance and management of early-stage pulmonary dysfunction.
