Association between the atherogenic index of plasma and abdominal aortic calcification in adults: a cross-sectional study.
Article in BMC public health, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07772466 (Atherogenic Index of Plasma and Carotid Intima-media Thickness as Predictors of Preclinical Atherosclerosis in Early Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients Younger Than 50 Years of Age), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract
backgroundAtherogenic index of plasma (AIP) index is an important marker of insulin resistance and a significant risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Abdominal aortic calcification (AAC) is significantly associated with subclinical atherosclerotic disease. However, there are no studies that have examined the relationship between AIP index and AAC, so we investigated the potential association between them in the general population.
methodsThis was a cross-sectional study using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES, 2013-2014). The association of AIP with AAC was estimated by multivariable regression analysis.
resultsAfter adjusting for confounders, the odds of extensive AAC doubled per unit increase in the AIP index (OR = 2.00, 95% CI: 1.05, 3.83; P = 0.035). The multivariable OR and 95% CI of the highest AIP index tertile compared with the lowest tertile was significantly different. (OR = 1.73, 95% CI: 1.05, 2.83; P = 0.031). The subgroup analyses indicated that the association was consistent irrespective of age, sex, hypertension, diabetes, smoking status, eGFR and hypercholesteremia.
conclusionsThe AIP index was independently associated with the presence of extensive AAC in the study population. Further studies are required to confirm this relationship.
