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 and Aims: Due to its association with various diseases, atherogenic index of plasma (AIP) has garnered increasing attention. Exploration of the relationship between AIP and endometriosis risk has not been thorough. This nationwide study will attempt to explore this association. This cross-sectional study aimed to investigate this association using a nationally representative sample. Methods: We utilized a nationally representative dataset from the 1999-2006 NHANES, including 1817 participants. AIP was defined as log10 (triglycerides/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol). An examination of the relationship between AIP and endometriosis utilized methods including weighted multivariable logistic regression, restricted cubic splines, and subgroup analyses. The relative significance of various lipid indicators was evaluated with the Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) algorithm. Results: This study analyzed 1817 participants, among whom 146 were diagnosed with endometriosis. Upon full adjustment for relevant covariates, the continuous model through multivariable logistic regression demonstrated a notable association between heightened AIP levels and the risk of endometriosis (OR = 2.578, 95% CI: 1.232-5.394, Conclusion: Our analysis confirms a positive correlation between elevated AIP levels and the frequency of endometriosis cases. This indicates that therapeutic strategies aimed at reducing AIP levels might have a beneficial impact on the management of endometriosis.
