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

aimTo investigate the associations of conventional lipid parameters with arterial stiffness assessed by cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI).

methodsA retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted in 23,257 healthy Japanese subjects (12,729 men and 10,528 women, aged 47.1±12.5 years, body mass index (BMI) 22.9±3.4 kg/m

resultsMale subjects had significantly higher BMI, CAVI and triglycerides (TG), and lower high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) compared to female subjects. After adjusting for confounders, including gender, age, systolic blood pressure and BMI identified by multiple regression analysis, adjusted CAVI was lower in normolipidemic than in dyslipidemic subjects. Among dyslipidemic subjects, those with hypertriglyceridemia had higher adjusted CAVI. A trend test detected linear relations between adjusted CAVI and all the conventional lipid parameters throughout the entire range of serum levels. After adjusting for confounders, logistic regression models showed that all lipid parameters contributed independently to high CAVI (≥90th percentile). Receiver-operating-characteristic analysis determined reliable cut-off values of 93 mg/dl for TG (area under the curve, AUC= 0.735), 114 mg/dl for low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (AUC=0.614) and 63 mg/dl for HDL-C (AUC=0.728) in predicting high CAVI. These cut-off values were confirmed to independently predict high CAVI in a bivariate logistic regression model.

conclusionThe present study demonstrated independent contribution of conventional lipid parameters to CAVI, indicating a possible association of lipid parameters with early vascular damage.
