Association between non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (NHHR) and urinary albumin-creatinine ratio (ACR) in US adults: NHANES 2005-2018.
Article in PloS one, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
purposeThe ratio of non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (NHDL-C) to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), referred to as NHHR, is an emerging lipid parameter. The relationship between NHHR and the urinary albumin-creatinine ratio (ACR) remains unclear. Therefore, our aim is to explore the potential correlation between NHHR and ACR.
methodsData for this study were sourced from the 2005-2018 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). Participants under 20 years, pregnant individuals, and those missing NHHR or ACR data were excluded. NHHR, calculated as the difference between total cholesterol (TC) and HDL-C divided by HDL-C, was assessed. Our analysis of the NHHR-ACR association involved multivariable linear regression, smoothed curve fitting, and subgroup analysis.
resultsA total of 34,734 participants were included, with a mean age of 49.81 ± 17.66 years. The prevalence of albuminuria was 12.66%. Multivariable regression analysis indicated a significant and independent positive association between NHHR and ACR after fully adjustment [β (95% CI): 7.19 (4.54, 9.85), p < 0.0001], particularly among female participants, individuals aged 60 or older, those of Mexican American or Non-Hispanic Black ethnicity, individuals with obesity, hypertension or diabetes.
conclusionOur findings demonstrate a positive correlation between NHHR and elevated ACR in US adults, implying that lowering NHHR may serve as a preventive and palliative strategy for albuminuria.
