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

backgroundNeutrophil to high-density lipoprotein ratio (NHR), a new inflammatory marker, is associated with poor clinical prognosis. However, the correlation of NHR and adverse outcomes in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients remains unclear.

methodsIn this retrospective cohort study, a total of 1051 PD patients were recruited from three centers during Jan 1, 2009 to Dec 31, 2017. Eligible patients were distributed according to quartiles of the NHR. Kaplan-Meier cumulative incidence curves, multivariate COX regression, competitive risk analysis and restricted cubic spline (RCS) were applied to analyze the relationship between NHR and all-cause mortality as well as cardiovascular events (CVE). In addition, forest plots were used to calculate the interaction between different subgroups.

resultsDuring follow-up, a total of 240 all-cause mortality and 157 new-onset CVE were recorded. The all-cause mortality in the highest quartile of NHR (> 5.43) were higher than those in the other groups. RCS showed a non-linear relationship between NHR and adverse outcomes. Multivariate COX regression indicated elevated NHR was an independent risk factor for all-cause mortality. Compared to the highest quartile, hazard ratio (HR) of new-onset CVE equals to 0.522 (95% CI 0.321-0.849) in the secondary quartile (2.43 < NHR ≤ 3.57), and the HR of all-cause mortality analysis is 0.551 (95% CI 0.378-0.803) in the third quartile (3.57 < NHR ≤ 5.43). Kaplan-Meier analysis suggested there were significant differences in all-cause mortality and new-onset CVE among four NHR groups.

conclusionsNHR was a new independent risk factor for all-cause mortality in PD patients.
