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 relationship between the low-density lipoprotein/high-density lipoprotein (LDL/HDL) ratio, an indicator of lipid metabolism and assessment of cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk, and Alzheimer's disease (AD) is unclear. Methods: Multivariable Cox regression analyses were used to examine the association of LDL/HDL ratio and the risk of AD. Multiple linear regression and mixed effects models used to assess associations between LDL/HDL and cognitive function, AD pathology, and brain structure. Mediation analyses examined AD pathology's potential mediating role between the LDL/HDL ratio and cognition. Results: Higher LDL/HDL ratio correlated with lower AD risk (HR 0.644 [0.431, 0.962]). In the linear regression analyses, the LDL/HDL ratio were positively associated with cognition. Longitudinally, the LDL/HDL ratio also positively with cognitive measures. Besides, higher LDL/HDL ratio were associated Aβ Conclusion: The LDL/HDL ratio is associated with AD risk, cognition, AD biomarkers and brain structure and can affect cognition by AD biomarkers.
