Serum cystatin C, monocyte/high-density lipoprotein-C ratio, and uric acid for the diagnosis of coronary heart disease and heart failure.
Article in World journal of clinical cases, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
backgroundCoronary heart disease (CHD) and heart failure (HF) are the major causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Early and accurate diagnoses of CHD and HF are essential for optimal management and prognosis. However, conventional diagnostic methods such as electrocardiography, echocardiography, and cardiac biomarkers have certain limitations, such as low sensitivity, specificity, availability, and cost-effectiveness. Therefore, there is a need for simple, noninvasive, and reliable biomarkers to diagnose CHD and HF.
aimTo investigate serum cystatin C (Cys-C), monocyte/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (MHR), and uric acid (UA) diagnostic values for CHD and HF.
methodsWe enrolled 80 patients with suspected CHD or HF who were admitted to our hospital between July 2022 and July 2023. The patients were divided into CHD (
resultsSerum levels of Cys-C, MHR, and UA were significantly higher in the CHD, HF, and CHD + HF groups than those in the control group. The serum levels of Cys-C, MHR, and UA were significantly higher in the CHD + HF group than those in the CHD or HF group. The ROC curve analysis showed that serum Cys-C, MHR, and UA had good diagnostic performance for CHD and HF, with areas under the curve ranging from 0.78 to 0.93. The optimal cutoff values of serum Cys-C, MHR, and UA for diagnosing CHD, HF, and CHD+HF were 1.2 mg/L, 0.9 × 10
conclusionSerum Cys-C, MHR, and UA are useful biomarkers for diagnosing CHD and HF, and CHD+HF. These can provide information for decision-making and risk stratification in patients with CHD and HF.
