Achieved low-density lipoprotein cholesterol to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio predicts the pathophysiological evolution of lipid-rich plaques in acute coronary syndromes: an optical coherence tomography study.

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
Background: As a novel lipoprotein ratio, baseline low-density lipoprotein cholesterol to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (LHR) is closely related to the clinical outcomes of acute coronary syndromes (ACS) after percutaneous coronary intervention. However, the pathophysiological impact of achieved LHR (aLHR) on the evolution of non-culprit lipid-rich plaques has not been systematically explored. Methods: Between September 2013 and December 2018, ACS patients with both baseline and 1-year follow-up optical coherence tomography (OCT) examinations were included in current study. They were divided into two groups according to the median value of aLHR at 1 year. Results: Overall, 132 patients with 215 lipid-rich plaques were enrolled, with a median aLHR: 1.62. There were thinner fibrous cap thickness (FCT) (133.3 [70.0-180.0] µm vs. 160.0 [100.0-208.3] µm, Conclusions: aLHR correlates well with the evolution of lipid-rich plaques and vulnerable phenotypes at 1-year follow-up, which might be an important and convenient serum indicator in the secondary prevention of ACS.
