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: Early risk stratification in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) is critical for guiding management and improving outcomes. The ratio of non-high-density lipoprotein to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (NHHR) represents the equilibrium between pro-atherogenic and anti-atherogenic lipoproteins, potentially capturing both lipid metabolism and inflammatory status, but its prognostic value in AIS remains unclear. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 812 first-ever AIS patients. Admission NHHR was calculated from routine lipid panels. The study's main outcome was 90-day functional status, determined using the modified Rankin Scale. Associations with NHHR were examined through multivariable logistic regression, quartile analyses, restricted cubic spline (RCS) modeling, and subgroup analyses. Results: Among 812 patients, 255 (31.4%) had unfavorable outcomes. Elevated NHHR showed an independent correlation with unfavorable 90-day functional outcomes (adjusted OR per unit increase, 1.233; 95% CI, 1.058-1.439; P = 0.0076). RCS analysis demonstrated a gradual rise in risk with increasing NHHR (P for trend = 0.043; P for nonlinearity = 0.584). Subgroup analyses showed consistent associations across sex, stroke severity, smoking, drinking, hypertension, and diabetes. Conclusion: Admission NHHR is a simple, inexpensive, and robust predictor of 90-day unfavorable outcomes in AIS. It provides a novel integrated lipid-inflammation marker for early risk stratification, warranting further validation in prospective studies.
