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.

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

Background: Coronary heart disease (CHD) is one of the leading causes of mortality. The current study aims to assess the association between C-reactive protein-triglyceride glucose index (CTI) and the risk of prevalent CHD and to evaluate the usefulness of CTI to refine the identification of prevalent CHD. Methods: 19,451 subjects from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 1999-2010 were enrolled. CHD was ascertained according to the questionnaire. Results: The prevalent of CHD was 6.23%. After adjusting for conventional cardiovascular risk factors, each SD increase of CTI could cast a 1.357 times risk of CHD. In quartile analysis, the top quartile had a 1.807 times risk of CHD than the bottom quartile. Smooth curving fitting displayed that the association was linear in the entire range of CTI. Subgroup analysis revealed that the association was robust among several common subpopulations but stronger in subjects aged <60. Finally, both ROC and reclassification analysis demonstrated a significant improvement in identifying CHD when introducing CTI to the Framingham risk score. Conclusion: CTI has a positive, linear, and robust association with prevalent CHD in the general American population, and CTI may help to improve the detection of prevalent CHD in the general population.
