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: Carotid atherosclerosis (CAS) is a key diabetic complication needing predictive biomarkers. The serum uric acid-to-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (UHR), linked to metabolic dysfunction, may serve this role. Therefore, this cross-sectional study examines UHR-CAS association in type 2 diabetes. Methods: This study included 615 type 2 diabetes patients, collecting demographic, biochemical, and carotid ultrasound data. Spearman correlation analyzed UHR's relationship with cardiovascular risk factors. Multivariate logistic regression combined with stratified regression modeling assessed UHR's independent link with CAS, while receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis evaluated its predictive value. Results: CAS patients showed elevated UHR and cardiovascular risk markers (age, body mass index [BMI], homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance [HOMA-IR], systolic blood pressure, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol [LDL-c], triglycerides, smoking) compared to controls ( Conclusion: UHR is an independent CAS risk factor in type 2 diabetes, outperforming traditional biomarkers for cardiovascular risk assessment.
