Association between monocyte to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio and telomere length: based on NHANES 1999-2002.
Article in BMC cardiovascular disorders, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundTelomere length is closely associated with the occurrence and development of cardiovascular and other diseases. Monocyte to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (MHR) is a novel indicator of inflammation, oxidative stress, and metabolic syndrome, with some predictive ability for related disease risks in clinical practice. However, there is no research on the correlation between these two factors.
methodsUsing data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) from 1999 to 2002, we conducted analysis and research on the correlation between MHR and telomere length using the Kruskal-Wallis H test, Spearman rank correlation analysis, and partial correlation analysis. Weighted linear regression analysis assessed the strength of the association between the two variables, while restricted cubic spline regression (RCS) explored potential nonlinear relationships between them.
resultsThe results of correlation analysis showed that MHR levels were negatively correlated with telomere length (ρ=-0.083, P < 0.001), and this relationship remained statistically significant after controlling for other covariates (P all < 0.001). Weighted linear regression analysis showed that after adjusting for all covariates, MHR remained negatively associated with telomere length (β = -0.020; 95% CI: -0.039 to -0.002; P = 0.037). Subgroup analysis shows that the negative association between MHR and telomere length appeared more striking among females (𝛽 = -0.024; 95%CI: -0.050 to 0.001; P = 0.058), the Non-Hispanic White (𝛽 = -0.022; 95%CI: -0.045 to 0.002; P = 0.066), and other race (𝛽 = -0.067; 95%CI: -0.134 to -0.000; P = 0.049). Using RCS explored potential nonlinear relationships between MHR and telomere length, revealing no nonlinear relationship between the two (P = 0.102).
conclusionsThis study suggests a negative correlation between MHR levels and telomere length in American adults. More comprehensive research is needed to confirm these findings in the future.
