Helicobacter pylori infection increases the risk of dyslipidemia in Chinese non-obese and non-diabetic population from the perspective of age category: a retrospective cross-sectional study.

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
BACKGROUND/
objectivesCurrently, the increased prevalence of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection and elevated levels of dyslipidemia pose a major public health challenge. We aimed to investigate the association between dyslipidemia and H. pylori infection from the perspective of age category.
methodsA retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted on 3530 non-obese and non-diabetic individuals who underwent a physical examination at the 991st Hospital of the Joint Logistics Support Force of People's Liberation Army from January to December 2024. Physical measurements, hematological markers, and detection of H. pylori were gathered from all patients. According to the results of the detection of H. pylori, the subjects were divided into the H. pylori-positive group and the H. pylori-negative group. The correlation between H. pylori infection and blood lipid levels was compared between the two groups according to age category. Binary Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the factors influencing H. pylori infection.
resultsAmong 3530 healthy subjects, 1176 cases (33.31%) were in the H. pylori-positive group and 2354 cases (66.69%) were in the H. pylori-negative group. In the 30-59 age group, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-c), triglycerides (TG), and total cholesterol (TC) levels were significantly higher in H. pylori-positive individuals compared to H. pylori-negative individuals (P < 0.05), with no significant differences in other age groups (P > 0.05). Binary Logistic regression showed that H. pylori infection was associated with elevated LDL-c [OR = 2.100, 95%CI (1.771-2.491), P < 0.001], elevated TC [OR = 2.844, 95%CI (2.232-3.623), P < 0.001], male gender [OR = 1.267, 95%CI (1.054-1.524), P < 0.05], ages 40-49 [OR = 1.602, 95%CI (1.181-2.173), P < 0.05].
conclusionsH. pylori infection is associated with dyslipidemia in non-obese and non-diabetic people, especially those aged 30-59. In men aged 40-49, H. pylori positivity was more strongly related to elevated TC and LDL-c, highlighting the importance of routine H. pylori screening in this age group.
