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: Coronary heart disease (CHD) remains a major global cause of morbidity and mortality. Identifying reliable and non-invasive biochemical markers that reflect CHD severity may improve early diagnosis and risk stratification. This study investigated the associations of homocysteine (Hcy), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), and uric acid (UA) with CHD severity, and evaluated the diagnostic value of their combined detection. Methods: A total of 100 participants undergoing coronary angiography were enrolled, including 58 patients with CHD and 42 controls. Serum Hcy, HDL-C, and UA were measured, and coronary stenosis burden was quantified using the Gensini score. Spearman correlation and multivariable linear regression analyses were performed to identify independent predictors of Gensini score. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves and reclassification indices-including net reclassification improvement (NRI), integrated discrimination improvement (IDI), and Results: Hcy, UA, and HDL-C were significantly altered in CHD patients compared with controls (all Conclusion: Serum Hcy, UA, and HDL-C are significantly associated with both the presence and severity of CHD. Their combined detection provides a modest improvement in diagnostic accuracy and improves risk stratification beyond traditional clinical variables. These biomarkers may aid early assessment of coronary stenosis burden.
