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
backgroundLittle is known about the link between the monocyte to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (MHR) and frequent premature ventricular complexes (PVCs). This investigation aimed to evaluate the link between the MHR and frequent PVCs in patients, as well as their outcomes, using the axis, burden, coupling interval-ventricular tachycardia (ABC-VT) risk score (ARS).
methodsTwo hundred patients with frequent PVCs and 70 controls were retrospectively enrolled, and their general data were gathered. The MHR and ARS were calculated. Then, patients developing frequent PVCs were classified into a medium-/high-risk subgroup and a low-risk subgroup according to ARS. The results were evaluated employing comparative statistical analyses, Spearman's correlation, logistic regression analyses, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves.
resultsThe MHR in the controls was obviously lower than that in the frequent PVC group. In addition, the MHR was the lowest in the control group and highest in the medium-/high-risk subgroup, with that of the low-risk subgroup falling in the middle. Spearman's correlation analyses showed that the MHR was positively correlated with the ARS (ρ = 0.307, P < 0.001). Ultimately, the MHR was found to be a risk factor for frequent PVCs in the multivariate analysis. In addition, an MHR cutoff point of 254.6 featured 67.50% sensitivity and 67.14% specificity for predicting frequent PVCs, and the area under the curve (AUC) reached 0.694 (95% confidence interval: 0.623-0.766) (P < 0.001).
conclusionsThe MHR is positively and independently correlated with frequent PVCs and can be used as a practical, cost-saving and simple biomarker of inflammation owing to its value in predicting frequent PVCs. In addition, the MHR is crucial to risk stratification and prognosis, which may give it clinical value in the prevention and management of frequent PVCs.
