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

aimsWhile glomerular hyperfiltration (GHF) emerged as a risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD), little is known about the association between GHF and blood lipid profile. We aimed to examine the association between GHF and blood lipid parameters in adults with few comorbidities.

methodsA cross-sectional study was performed on adults undergoing health screening in Osaka, Japan. Adults with a history of heart disease or stroke, those with diabetes mellitus, chronic kidney disease (estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) <60 mL/min/1.73m

resultsOf 17,288 eligible individuals (mean age 50.1±9.9 years; 45.5% women), 853 individuals (4.9%) had GHF. Multiple logistic regression analyses demonstrated an association between a higher sdLDL-C/LDL-C ratio and GHF (odds ratio (OR) = 1.51, 95% credible interval (CrI) 1.21-1.88). LDL-C showed an inverse association with GHF (OR = 0.94, 95% CrI 0.92-0.97).

conclusionOur findings demonstrated an independent association between a higher sdLDL-C/LDL-C ratio and GHF. The role of an sdLDL-C/LDL-C ratio in GHF development and CVD risk merits further investigation.
