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

backgroundDyslipidemia is prominently associated with adverse outcomes in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). The non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (NHHR) is a novel comprehensive lipid index. However, limited evidence exists on the relationship of the NHHR with the risk of adverse outcomes in patients with CAD. This study aimed to explore the associations between the NHHR and adverse outcomes and identify the optimal NHHR ranges linked to the lowest adverse outcome risk in patients with CAD undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).

methodsAmong 2253 patients with CAD undergoing PCI, 2251 with available total cholesterol and HDL-C levels were analyzed. Furthermore, all patients were classified into quintiles based on the NHHR. The primary outcome was the incidence of MACCEs, comprising cardiac mortality, acute myocardial infarction, stroke, and repeat revascularization. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was used to assess the relationship between the NHHR and MACCEs. Moreover, restricted cubic spline (RCS) analysis was performed to quantify nonlinearity. Lastly, the consistency between these associations was confirmed by conducting subgroup and interaction analyses.

resultsA total of 270 patients experienced MACCEs over a median follow-up of 29.8 months (interquartile range, 25.6-34 months). After adjustment for confounding variables, the adjusted ORs (95% CIs) of the patients in quintiles 2, 3, 4, and 5 were 0.79 (0.52-1.20), 0.64 (0.42-0.99), 1.00 (0.67-1.48), and 1.17 (0.74-1.64), respectively (reference group: quintile 1). Additionally, RCS analysis demonstrated a U-shaped relationship between the NHHR and MACCEs, with an inflection point at an NHHR of 3.119 using a two-piecewise regression model. This relationship was consistent across the various subgroups, while significant interactions were not observed in these associations.The ORs and 95% CIs to the left and right of the inflection point were 0.734 (0.551-0.978) and 1.231 (1.038-1.460), respectively.

conclusionsThis study reveals a U-shaped association between baseline NHHR and MACCE incidence in patients with CAD undergoing PCI.
