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

backgroundThe non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (NHHR) plays a potential role in cardiovascular diseases. However, its association with angina pectoris remains unclear. Herein, we aimed to explore their relationship.

methodsThis cross-sectional retrospective study included the 2009-2018 data from 22,562 adults diagnosed with angina pectoris, retrieved from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) database. NHHR was estimated from laboratory data, and angina pectoris diagnosis was ascertained from the NHANES questionnaire.

resultsAngina pectoris risk was greater in the highest than in the lowest NHHR tertile (odds ratio [OR] = 1.61; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.15-2.54; P = 0.006). Weighted logistic regression showed a positive association between NHHR and angina pectoris in the fully adjusted model (OR = 1.17; 95% CI, 1.07-1.28; P = 0.001). Restricted cubic spline analysis showed a linear association (P = 0.6572). Subgroup analyses indicated no significant differences across different stratifications (P > 0.05, all). Random forest analyses and Boruta algorithm corroborated that NHHR is a strong predictor of angina pectoris. Among the eight machine-learning models evaluated for predictive capabilities, the logistic regression model demonstrated the strongest predictive capability, with an area under the curve of 0.831.

conclusionsOur study suggests that NHHR is a risk factor for angina pectoris and may be used for risk prediction and to inform future intervention programs to reduce its incidence.
