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

objectivesEvaluation of atherogenic indices in patients with pseudoexfoliation syndrome (PEXS) by traditional serum lipid profiles [total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-c), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-c) and non-HDL-c] and non-traditional serum lipid ratios [TC/HDL-c, TG/HDL-c, LDL-c/HDL-c and non-HDL-c/HDL-c].

methodsA total of 100 patients were included in the study. Fifty patients diagnosed with PEXS were regarded as group 1 and 50 patients without PEXS were regarded as group 2, respectively.

resultsThe median TC, TG, LDL-c, HDL-c and non-HDL-c values were significantly higher in group 1 compared to group 2 (p = 0.007, p = 0.025, p = 0.016, p = 0.015 and p = 0.042, respectively). But there were no significant differences in the TC/HDL-c, TG/HDL-c, LDL-c/HDL-c and non-HDL-c/HDL-c ratios among the two groups (p = 0.581, p = 0.617, p = 0.292 and p = 0.583, respectively).

conclusionsNon-traditional serum lipid ratios are superior to traditional serum lipid profiles for identifying the risk of vascular disease and this study did not demonstrate a complete relationship between PEXS and increased risk of vascular disease.
