Relationship between serum vitamin D levels and the atherogenic index of plasma: a study based on NHANES database 2011-2018.

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
Objective: This study aims to investigate the relationship between serum vitamin D levels and the atherogenic index of plasma (AIP) in individuals aged 20 years and above, as well as analyze potential influencing factors. Methods: A total of 9,637 participants aged 20 years and above from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) conducted between 2011 and 2018 were included in this study. The AIP was calculated using the formula log[triglycerides (TG)/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C)]. Due to the skewed distribution of serum vitamin D levels in the study population, a normal transformation was performed. Weighted multivariate linear regression models were used to assess the linear relationship between the transformed serum vitamin D levels and AIP. Subgroup analysis was conducted by stratifying the data based on age, gender, and race to evaluate the stability of the relationship between serum vitamin D levels and AIP in different populations. In addition, a smooth curve fitting and generalized linear models were employed to examine the nonlinear relationship between serum vitamin D levels and AIP. Results: After controlling for confounding factors, the multivariate linear regression analysis revealed a negative correlation between serum vitamin D levels and AIP [ Conclusion: Our study revealed a significant negative correlation and saturation effect between serum vitamin D levels and AIP.
