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
objectiveHigh monocyte to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (MHR) is known to be a risk factor for cardiovascular (CV) complications. We aimed to evaluate the relationship between MHR and CV outcomes in patients commencing dialysis.
methodsThe medical records of patients who started maintenance dialysis between January 2006 and July 2017 were reviewed. The primary outcomes were all-cause mortality and overall CV mortality and the secondary outcomes were CV event-free survival and the incidence of CV complications.
resultsFive hundred ninety-seven patients were enrolled and allocated to low- or high-MHR groups. All-cause mortality did not differ between the groups during a mean follow-up period of 3.9 years. In addition, overall CV mortality did not differ between the groups. However, CV event-free survival was significantly lower in the high-MHR group than in the low-MHR group (47.5%
conclusionHigh MHR at the time of initiation of dialysis may represent a useful predictor of CV complications.
