1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundPrevious studies have shown that elevated remnant cholesterol (RC) was associated with stroke risk. There is insufficient evidence on the relationship between 2-year changes in RC and stroke risk in the general population. Our aim was to explore the relationship between 2-year changes in RC and the risks of stroke and its subtypes in the general population.

methodsThe study included 62 443 individuals who were free of stroke from the Kailuan Study. Two-year changes in RC was defined as the difference between the RC in 2008 and that in 2006. Multivariable-adjusted Cox proportion models were used to examine the associations between 2-year changes in RC with the risks of stroke and its subtypes.

resultsDuring a median follow-up period of 10.30 years, 3780 (6.38%) stroke events occurred. The changes in RC were positively associated with the risk of stroke, after adjustment for multiple potential confounders. The hazard ratio (HR) for the Q4 group versus the Q1 group was 1.14 (95%, CI, 1.02-1.28) for stroke, and 1.18 (95% CI, 1.04-1.32) for ischemic stroke. The risks of stroke were higher in the RC increased group than the RC nonincreased group. The HR was 1.12 (95% CI, 1.04-1.20) for stroke, and 1.15 (95% CI, 1.07-1.24) for ischemic stroke.

conclusionsSubstantial changes in RC are associated with increased risks of stroke in the general population. Monitoring long-term changes in RC may assist with the early identification of individuals at high risk of stroke.
