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

backgroundThe non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (NHHR) is a recently developed lipid parameter, but there are insufficient studies exploring its relationship with early cognitive impairment in patients with acute mild stroke. This study aims to determine the potential association between NHHR and early cognitive impairment in patients with acute mild stroke. By collecting data from patients with acute minor ischemic stroke in hospital, we will analyze the relationship between NHHR and cognitive function in these patients.

methodsThis study enrolled 817 acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients (NIHSS ≤ 5), Cognitive function was assessed using Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) within 2 weeks, with cognitive impairment defined by education-stratified thresholds. Statistical analysis of the baseline was performed. Multivariate logistic regression was performed to analyze the association between NHHR and cognitive impairment, and Receiver Operating Characteristic Curve (ROC) analysis were performed to evaluate the predictive value.

resultsPatients were classified into cognitive impairment group (n = 473) and normal cognition group (n = 344). NHHR in the cognitive impairment group was significantly higher than that in the normal group (3.24 ± 1.63 vs. 3.02 ± 1.43, P = 0.046). There were significant differences in age and education level. There was a dose-response relationship between NHHR quartiles and the incidence of cognitive impairment (trend test P = 0.021). Multivariate regression analysis showed that for each unit increase in NHHR, the risk of cognitive impairment increases by 13.2% (OR = 1.13, 95% confidence interval 1.02-1.25, P = 0.018). The predictive model constructed by combining age and education level has an area under the ROC curve(AUC) of 0.71 (95% confidence interval 0.67-0.74).

conclusionsNHHR is an independent risk factor for early cognitive impairment in mild AIS patients. The NHHR-based model demonstrates moderate predictive accuracy, supporting its potential clinical utility.
