Inverse association between CALLY index and angina pectoris in US adults: a population-based study.
Article in BMC cardiovascular disorders, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers.
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
backgroundThe C-reactive protein-albumin-lymphocyte (CALLY) index is a significant marker that reflects both inflammatory and nutritional states and has proven to be a valuable tool for assessing prognosis in various medical conditions. However, the connection between it and angina pectoris has not yet been fully examined. This research sought to thoroughly investigate the possible link between the CALLY index and angina pectoris.
methodsThis research utilized a cross-sectional approach, drawing data from the 2003-2010 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), which included 16,291 adults from the U.S. The CALLY index was calculated based on lymphocyte counts, serum albumin concentrations, and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels. The relationship between the CALLY index and angina pectoris was analyzed using multivariate logistic regression and restricted cubic spline (RCS) methods. Subgroup and interaction analyses were also performed.
resultsElevated ln CALLY was inversely correlated with the prevalence of angina (OR: 0.88, 95% CI: 0.82, 0.95). Those in the highest quartile of the ln CALLY (Q4) were 38% less likely to experience angina than those in the lowest quartile (Q1) (OR: 0.62, 95% CI: 0.46, 0.84). RCS analysis revealed an L-shaped curve linking the CALLY index to angina, with a cutoff at 14. The consistency of this relationship was substantiated through subgroup analyses across different population groups.
conclusionsThis research highlights a notable inverse relationship between the CALLY index and angina in U.S. adults, suggesting its potential as an innovative tool for evaluating angina.
