Correlation between gallstones and fasting blood glucose to serum high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio among American adults.
Article in Frontiers in medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Background: Research indicates that the ratio of fasting blood glucose (FBG) to serum high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) (GHR) can accurately predict many diseases. Nevertheless, the relationship between GHR and the risk of gallbladder stones remains unclear. This study investigates the possible relationship between GHR and the incidence of gallbladder stones. Methods: This research used information gathered from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) between March 2017 and March 2020. A calculation was made to determine the GHR by dividing the fasting blood glucose level by the HDL-C level. Several statistical methods, including analysis of threshold effects, smoothed curve fitting, multiple logistic regression modeling, and subgroup analysis, were utilized to investigate the connection between GHR and gallstones. Results: In 3898 U.S. adults, GHR was significantly positively associated with the prevalence of gallbladder stones. In a fully adjusted model, the incidence of gallbladder stones increased by 7% with each 1-unit increase in GHR (OR [95% Cl] = 1.07 [1.02, 1.14]). Compared with members in the low group, those in the high group had a 100% higher likelihood of getting gallbladder stones (OR [95% CI] = 2.00 [1.31, 3.04]), and this stabilizing connection was always present in the different subgroups. With the help of smooth curve fitting, the research also showed that there was a connection that was formed like an upside-down L shape between GHR and gallbladder stones. The analysis of the threshold effect revealed that the inflection point was 4.28. Conclusion: The results revealed an inverted L-shaped connection between GHR and gallbladder stones. Keeping GHR levels within a certain range is associated with a lower incidence of gallstones in the general population.
