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

Intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis (ICAS) is a common cause of ischemic stroke, and a low level of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) is also considered to be a predictor for stroke. However, the association between the HDL-C level and asymptomatic ICAS is uncertain. From 2010 to 2011, a random sample of 5,351 participants were enrolled in the Asymptomatic Polyvascular Abnormalities Community (APAC) study. The recruited participants were then separated into 5 roughly uniform-sized factions with varying HDL-C levels. Multivariate logistic regression was implemented to assess the connection of the HDL-C levels and the prevalence of asymptomatic ICAS. The prevalence of asymptomatic ICAS showed no gradual decrease with the increase of HDL-C levels. After adjustment for conventional risk factors, HDL-C levels still showed no significant association with asymptomatic ICAS. The odds ratios (OR) of the prevalence of asymptomatic ICAS between the first group and the other 4 groups were 0.98, 1.00, 0.92, and 0.87 with 95% confidence intervals (CI) being 0.76-1.27, 0.78-1.29, 0.71-1.19, and 0.66-1.13, respectively. The study showed little correlation between HDL-C levels and asymptomatic ICAS. Normal levels of HDL-C are not an independent risk factor for asymptomatic ICAS.
