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
backgroundThe relationship between the triglycerides-to-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (TG/HDL-C) ratio and the risk of developing chronic kidney disease (CKD) remains unclear, as CKD is a major health challenge worldwide. This study aimed to investigate the association between the TG/HDL-C ratio and the risk of developing CKD.
methodsTo find studies that examined the association of TG/HDL-C ratio (without stratification restrictions for TG/HDL-C) with CKD or renal disorders, PubMed, Embase, Scopus, Google Scholar, and Web of Science databases, as well as study references, were searched by two independent investigators with no time limit until July 31, 2025 by related MeSH Terms. Heterogeneity among studies was assessed using the Cochran's Q and I
resultsEleven studies involving 376,697 participants were included. The pooled prevalence of CKD was 12% (95% CI: 7-16). Subgroup analysis showed a significant positive correlation between increasing TG/HDL-C ratio and increasing CKD prevalence. The prevalence of CKD in quartiles 1, 2, 3, and 4 was 8%, 10%, 12% and 15%, respectively. A high TG/HDL-C ratio (q4) versus a low one (q1) was significantly associated with increased risk of CKD (OR: 1.26, 95% CI: 1.13, 1.39, I
conclusionA high versus low TG/HDL-C ratio was significantly associated with an increased risk of CKD. This association was stronger in men than in women. Despite its limitations, the TG/HDL-C ratio can be used as a simple, reliable and accessible biomarker for assessing CKD risk.
