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

Background: The Uric Acid-to-HDL Ratio (UHR), a novel index derived from serum uric acid and high-density lipoprotein, has been linked to hypertension and poor diabetes control. It has also been shown to predict ischemic heart disease and is strongly associated with collateral circulation and coronary artery flow reserve. However, fewer studies have focused on the relationship between UHR and stroke, highlighting the need for further research in this area. Methods: The study included 33,192 individuals from the NHANES 1999-2023, of whom 1,363 had a history of stroke. The nonlinear relationship between UHR and stroke risk was assessed using restricted cubic spline (RCS) analysis, and the robustness of the findings was further tested through stratified analysis. Logistic regression was employed to analyze the relationship between UHR and stroke risk, considering both UHR as a continuous variable and its categorization into quartiles (Q1-Q4). Results: UHR was not nonlinearly associated with stroke ( Conclusion: There was a significant positive correlation between UHR and stroke risk.
