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
objectiveThis study explores the relationship between the non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (NHHR) and the severity of coronary artery stenosis in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients.
methodsWe included patients who were first admitted to the cardiac intensive care unit of Tianjin Medical University General Hospital between July 1, 2022, and June 30, 2024, with a diagnosis of ACS. Coronary stenosis severity was assessed using the Gensini score (GS), with patients divided into high (≥ 68.5) and low (< 68.5) GS groups. Patients in the high GS group represented those with more severe coronary artery stenosis. General clinical data from the first admission were compared between the two groups. Logistic regression identified independent risk factors, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves evaluated the predictive value of NHHR and other lipid parameters. C-statistics, calibration, and decision curves assessed the Nomogram's predictive accuracy. Sensitivity analysis was performed to further validate the robustness of the results.
resultsThe study included 1,799 ACS patients, 907 with severe coronary artery lesions (GS ≥ 68.5). The median age was 71, and 72.9% were male. NHHR was significantly higher in the high GS group. Logistic regression showed NHHR as an independent risk factor for high GS (odds ratio, OR = 1.15, P = 0.001), with higher NHHR levels indicating greater risk. Compared to the first quartile (Q1), the third and fourth quartiles showed increased risk (OR = 1.36, P = 0.044; OR = 1.66, P = 0.002). Incorporating NHHR into the model for predicting severe coronary artery lesions (Model 1) increased the predictive value from 0.696 (95% CI: 0.674-0.717) to 0.703 (95% CI: 0.682-0.724).
conclusionNHHR was an independent risk factor for severe coronary artery stenosis (GS ≥ 68.5) in ACS patients, with higher values linked to increased lesion severity. It outperformed traditional lipid parameters in predicting severity and improved the prediction model's accuracy. Subgroup analysis showed stronger associations in high-risk populations, though further studies are needed to confirm its clinical utility.
