Role of Lipoprotein(a) and Blood Cells Ratios in Peripheral Artery Disease.
Article in International journal of molecular sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is a major global health issue. This study investigated the relationship between lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)], high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) to blood cells ratios, and PAD development. The study included 361 patients categorized into groups based on the presence of stenotic atherosclerosis in lower limb arteries (LLAs) diagnosed via duplex ultrasound. Group 1 (n = 238) had atherosclerosis at the first visit. A second visit involved 281 patients: 158 from Group 1, 32 new diagnoses (Group 2), and 91 with no atherosclerosis at either visit (Group 3). Laboratory analysis included lipid profiles, Lp(a), and complete blood counts, calculating ratios like Lp(a)/HDL-C and monocyte-to-HDL-C ratio (MHR). Showed patients with stenotic atherosclerosis had significantly higher Lp(a) (20.2 vs. 12.1 mg/dL,
