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 arteriosclerosis index of plasma (AIP) is a sensitive biomarker that reflects characteristics of lipid metabolism and lipoprotein profiles, calculated as the logarithmic transformation of the ratio between fasting triglycerides (TG) and fasting high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C). However, current evidence regarding the detailed relationship between AIP and the risk of stroke among middle-aged and elderly adults remains limited. Therefore, this study was conducted to comprehensively explore the link between AIP and the occurrence of new-onset stroke in middle-aged and elderly populations, aiming to provide an evidence-based foundation for stroke prevention and management. Methods: Data analyzed in this study were drawn from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS), including 6,808 subjects aged ≥45 years without prior history of stroke. Logistic regression models and restricted cubic spline (RCS) analyses were employed to investigate the association between AIP values and stroke incidence. Subgroup analyses were conducted to examine potential sources of heterogeneity, and stratified analyses were performed to verify the robustness of the results. Results: Following extensive adjustment for potential confounding factors, logistic regression demonstrated that increased AIP was significantly associated with higher stroke incidence among middle-aged and elderly individuals (OR = 1.63, 95% CI: 1.09, 2.45, Conclusion: This study identifies a nonlinear, positive correlation between AIP and stroke incidence in middle-aged and elderly individuals, noting variations based on gender and age.
