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

backgroundThe atherogenic index of plasma (AIP) as a novel lipid biomarker has been shown to be an important predictor of atherosclerosis and coronary artery disease. However, it remains unclear whether AIP has prognostic value for patients with premature coronary artery disease (PCAD). Therefore, the present investigation aims to explore the relationship between AIP and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in the PCAD population.

methodsA total of 721 patients with PCAD diagnosed by coronary angiography were enrolled in this study. Their AIP was calculated as log [triglyceride (TG)/high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C)]. The primary outcome of this study was MACE, defined as a combination of cardiovascular (CV) death, coronary artery revascularization, non-fatal myocardial infarction (MI), and non-fatal stroke.

resultsAfter a median follow-up time of 52 months, 138 patients developed MACE. The patients in the highest AIP tertile group have a higher incidence of MACE (26.6% vs 11.8% and 19.8%, p < 0.001). The Kaplan-Meier curves demonstrated that there were significant differences in the risk of MACE among different AIP groups (log-rank p < 0.001). In addition, the multivariable Cox regression model showed that the hazard ratio of MACE in the highest tertile group was 2.27 (95% CI 1.30-3.94), and 1.33 (95% CI 1.06-1.67) for per SD increase in AIP.

conclusionsAIP is significantly associated with the risk of MACE in patients with PCAD and serves as a novel independent prognostic marker for this population.
