The relationship between non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio and abdominal aortic calcification in adults: a 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: The non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (NHHR) is a novel lipid index for assessing atherosclerosis. Although NHHR has been recognized as a biomarker for multiple diseases, its association with abdominal aortic calcification (AAC) remains unexplored. Methods: This study analyzed data from 2,517 participants in the 2013 to 2014 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). AAC was assessed using dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry and quantified with the Kauppila score (AAC-24). The relationship between NHHR and AAC was evaluated using multivariate linear and logistic regression models, with nonlinear associations visualized via restricted cubic splines. Subgroup and interaction analyses were conducted to assess the robustness of the findings across different populations. Results: In fully adjusted models, AAC scores and severe AAC (sAAC) prevalence increased with each quartile increment of NHHR ( Conclusion: In adults aged 40 years and older, higher NHHR levels were associated with increased AAC scores and a greater risk of sAAC, particularly among women. Furthermore, this study highlights the potential clinical value of NHHR in the prevention of AAC and its related complications.
