Remnant cholesterol and risk of aortic aneurysm and dissection: a prospective cohort Study from the UK biobank study and mendelian randomization analysis.

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
aimThis study aimed to examine the relationships between remnant cholesterol (RC) and the risk of aortic aneurysm and dissection (AAD).
methodsThis prospective cohort study included 368,139 European adults from the UK Biobank. Additionally, the causal relationship between RC and AAD was investigated using Mendelian randomization (MR) analyses.
resultsDuring a median follow-up of 13.65 years, 1,634 cases of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), 698 cases of thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA), and 184 cases of aortic dissection (AD) were identified. Elevated RC levels were associated with an increased risk of AAA compared to the reference group ([highest vs. lowest RC levels]: adjusted hazard ratio (HR) = 1.65, 95% CI: 1.36-1.99). However, no significant association was observed between high RC levels and the risk of either TAA or AD. Two-sample MR analyses supported a significant causal effect of RC on AAA risk (odds ratio (OR) = 2.08, 95% CI: 1.70-2.56). The association between RC and AAA persisted after adjusting for the effects of RC-associated genetic variants on low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C). In contrast, MR analyses did not indicate any causal associations between RC and TAA or AD.
conclusionsElevated RC was linked to a greater risk of developing AAA, with MR analyses confirming a causal relationship. These findings suggest that RC may function as a new biomarker for AAA and could be integral to strategies aimed at preventing AAA.
