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

backgroundAberrant lipid metabolism is associated with the development of coronary artery aneurysms (CAA). Research on the association between traditional and nontraditional lipid parameters, as well as CAA, in patients undergoing coronary angiography is limited. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate and compare the effects of lipid parameters on CAA development.

methods160 patients with CAA and 160 patients without CAA were included in this study. Traditional lipid parameters were calculated and compared between the two groups. Multivariate logistic analysis and restricted cubic spline (RCS) were used to explore the association between lipid indicators and CAA incidence. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were used to evaluate the predictive value of lipid parameters.

resultsSerum triglyceride (TG), atherogenic index of plasma (AIP), lipoprotein combine index (LCI), AC, Castelli's index-I (CRI-I), and CRI-II were all significantly higher in patients with CAA, while high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and remnant cholesterol (RC) were lower in CAA group compared with control group (p < 0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that TG, AIP, LCI, AC, CRI-I, and CRI-II were all independent risk factors for CAA, whereas total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), non-HDL-C, and RC/HDL-C were not associated with CAA after adjusting for covariates. Among these traditional and nontraditional lipid parameters, AIP exhibited the highest area under the curve (AUC) for predicting CAA (AUC = 0.712, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.633-0.791, p < 0.001), suggesting that nontraditional lipid parameters have outstanding predictive power for CAA.

conclusionsPatients with CAA had higher levels of traditional lipid parameters. Among these lipid indicators, the AIP had the highest predictive potential for CAA.
