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

Objective: To investigate the association between remnant cholesterol (RC) levels and the degree of coronary artery stenosis in patients with type 2 diabetes, and to assess its incremental value in risk stratification. Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on 155 patients with type 2 diabetes diagnosed and treated in the Department of Cardiology at Zhaotong Third People's Hospital from January 2023 to December 2024. Based on coronary angiography Gensini scores, patients were divided into a mild stenosis group (Gensini < 22 points) and a moderate-to-severe stenosis group (Gensini ≥ 22 points). Clinical characteristics were compared between the two groups. Spearman's correlation analysis assessed the relationship between RC and Gensini scores. Logistic regression analyzed the association between RC and coronary artery stenosis severity. ROC curves evaluated the diagnostic capability of RC, while NRI and IDI measures assessed its incremental diagnostic value. Results: The RC in the moderate-to-severe stenosis group was higher than that in the mild stenosis group ( Conclusion: Levels of RC in patients with type 2 diabetes are independently associated with the degree of coronary artery stenosis. Beyond traditional risk factors, RC demonstrates clear incremental value and can serve as an auxiliary indicator for stratifying the risk of coronary artery stenosis.
