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 CRP-albumin-lymphocyte (CALLY) index has potential clinical value as a novel marker integrating inflammatory, nutritional and immune status in the development of colorectal polyps. This study examined whether gender factors influence the association between CALLY and colorectal polyps; in addition to elucidating whether metabolic pathways mediate this relationship.

methodsThis is a cross-sectional study including 5409 adult health screening participants who completed colonoscopy. Logistic regression analysis, correlation analysis, linear regression analysis and restricted cubic spline modeling, and mediation analysis were employed to investigate the intricate associations between CALLY index, inflammatory biomarkers, metabolic factors and colorectal polyps.

resultsA total of 2201 subjects were diagnosed with colorectal polyps. Logistic regression analysis showed that higher CALLY index quartiles were inversely correlated with colorectal polyp prevalence (OR = 0.83,95% CI = 0.70-0.98, P = 0.025), and that this association was more pronounced in the female population (OR = 0.67,95% CI = 0.50-0.91, P = 0.011), while no significant association was observed in males (P > 0.05). Mediation analyses showed partial mediation of TyG (mediated effect: 15.14%, P < 0.01) and Non-HDL-C (mediated effect: 8.20%, P < 0.01) between CALLY index and colorectal polyps, whereas females showed stronger mediation of TyG (mediated effect: 15.49%, P = 0.020).

conclusionsThere were sex differences in the negative association of CALLY index with colorectal polyps, with a stronger association in women; the glucose metabolism (TyG) and lipid metabolism (Non-HDL-C) pathways partially mediated the association, and the mediating effect of TyG was more significant in women.
