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

Background: The ratio of non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (NHHR) has been introduced as a novel indicator to evaluate lipid metabolism. The study explored the association between NHHR and cardiovascular disease (CVD). Methods: A cross-sectional study was achieved by utilizing data obtained from the NHANES (2003-2016). The association between NHHR and CVD was assessed by multivariate logistic regression analysis (LRA) and the restricted cubic spline (RCS) analysis. Also, interaction tests and subgroup analyses were employed to explore whether the associations differ by subgroups. Then, threshold analysis were conducted for interval delineation and detection of threshold effects with two-segment piecewise LR model. Results: A cohort of 11,471 individuals was involved. The results indicated that the linear relationship between NHHR and CVD was not significant ( Conclusions: A J-shaped association was detected between NHHR and the prevalence of CVD, suggesting that NHHR could serve as a novel assessment marker for identifying high-risk CVD populations. However, further cohort studies are needed to confirm this finding.
