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 Platelet-to-HDL-cholesterol ratio (PHR), an emerging inflammatory biomarker, shows promise as a predictor in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and coronary artery disease (CAD). However, the association between PHR and glycemic metabolism status and their combined effects on the prognosis of CAD patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) remains unclear. Methods: A total of 31,761 CAD patients hospitalized for PCI were included. The primary endpoint was defined as major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs). According to the median PHR levels, patients were grouped into higher levels of PHR (PHR-H) and lower levels of PHR (PHR-L) and further divided by glycemic status into four groups: PHR-H/T2DM, PHR-H/Non-T2DM, PHR-L/T2DM, PHR-L/Non-T2DM. Results: During the 1-year follow-up, 2258 (7.1%) MACEs occurred. Elevated PHR conferred 17% excess risk for MACEs. A 1-unit increase in LnPHR was associated with a 26% increased risk of MACEs in the T2DM cohort, and a 27% increase of MACEs risks in the non-T2DM cohort. Compared to those in PHR-H/T2DM group, patients in PHR-L/T2DM, PHR-H/Non-T2DM, PHR-L/Non-T2DM had significantly decreased risk of MACEs [adjusted hazard ratio (aHR): 0.83, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.73-0.96, P =0.009; aHR: 0.81, 95% CI: 0.69-0.95, P =0.009; aHR: 0.70, 95% CI: 0.60-0.83, P <0.001; respectively]. Cox regression analysis also indicated the highest risk of MACEs among patients in PHR-H/T2DM group than in other groups (P for trend <0.001). Restricted cubic spline analyses revealed positive linear associations of PHR with MACEs, all-cause death, and unplanned target vessel revascularization, while a significant non-linear relationship between PHR and myocardial infarction. Additionally, subgroup analysis indicated consistent effects on MACEs within diverse subsets. Conclusion: Elevated PHR levels combined with T2DM were associated with worse clinical outcomes after PCI at 1-year follow-up. The PHR may serve as a valuable predictor for identifying high-risk patients post-PCI, particularly in diabetic cohorts.
