A Novel Marker of Impaired Aortic Elasticity in Never Treated Hypertensive Patients: Monocyte/High-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol Ratio.

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
backgroundMonocyte to high density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (MHR) is generally understood to be a candidate marker of inflammation and oxidative stress. Therefore, we aimed to assess the association between MHR and aortic elastic properties in hypertensive patients.
methodsA total of 114 newly-diagnosed untreated patients with hypertension and 71 healthy subjects were enrolled. Aortic stiffness index, aortic strain and aortic distensibility were measured by using echocardiography.
resultsPatients with hypertension had a significantly higher MHR compared to the control group (p < 0.001). Also, aortic stiffness index (p < 0.001) was significantly higher and aortic distensibility (p < 0.001) was lower in the hypertensive group. There was a positive correlation of MHR with aortic stiffness index (r = 0.294, p < 0.001) and negative correlation with aortic distensibility (r = -0.281, p < 0.001). In addition, MHR and high sensitivity C-reactive protein have a positive correlation (r = 0.30, p < 0.001). Furthermore, MHR was found to be an independent predictor of aortic distensibility and aortic stiffness index.
conclusionsIn patients with newly-diagnosed untreated essential hypertension, higher MHR was significantly associated with impaired aortic elastic properties.
