Association between neutrophil/ high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio and BMI in three Argentinean Indigenous communities.

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: New hematological parameters related to HDL-C can provide insights into inflammatory status and lipid metabolism. Objective: To determine the association between several cardiometabolic indices such as the neutrophil to HDL-C ratio (NHR), neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR), lymphocyte to HDL-C ratio (LHR), TG-HDL ratio, and TyG index with BMI in Argentinean Indigenous schoolchildren from three impoverished communities. Methods: Age, sex, body mass index (BMI), triglycerides (TG), HDL-C, and CBC were evaluated in a cross-sectional study. Additionally, NHR, NLR, LHR, the TG/HDL ratio, and the TyG index were calculated. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to explore the associations between these indices and BMI. A ROC curve was used to determine the most effective index for identifying high BMI. Results: 306 schoolchildren (54.2 % female) aged 9.6 ± 2.8 years were evaluated. The prevalence of overweight/obesity was 17.3 % (n = 52). There were significant univariate correlations between BMI and the following variables: age (r = 0.244), HDL-C (r = -0.16), NHR (r = 0.27), TG-HDL -C(r = 0.23), and NLR (r = 0.23). The ROC curve demonstrated that NHR had a better discriminative performance for identifying high BMI (0.70; 95 % CI: 0.64-0.75; p < 0.01), outperforming all other indices, including NLR and HDL-C alone. Multiple linear regression analysis confirmed that NHR was significantly associated with BMI adjusted for age, sex, blood pressure, and location. (coeff. 0.24). Conclusion: This study found that NHR demonstrated better discriminative performance compared with other markers for identifying high body weight in Argentinean Indigenous children from impoverished communities.
