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
objectiveMonocyte-to-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (MHR), lymphocyte-to-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (LHR), and neutrophil-to-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (NHR) are novel and convenient biomarkers. However, the association between these high-density lipoprotein-related inflammation indices and the odds of female infertility remains unclear. The present study aimed to investigate potential relationships.
methodsIn this study, 2408 participants were the focus of an analysis of data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) in 2013-2018. Multivariate logistic regression, smooth curve fitting, and subgroup analyses were employed to explore the correlation between MHR, LHR, NHR and female infertility.
resultsAs indicated by our research, there was no obvious correlation between NHR and female infertility, whereas MHR and LHR showed an association with increased odds of infertility. A multiple logistic regression model demonstrated a positive linear relationship between MHR, LHR and the incidence of infertility after adjusting for all potential confounders. Then, compared to the minimum MHR and LHR, individuals in the highest quartile had a 70% and 54% separately higher chance of female infertility prevalence (MHR: odds ratio [OR] = 1.70, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.13-2.56, P = 0.011; LHR: OR = 1.54, 95% CI: 1.03-2.31, P = 0.036). Furthermore, smooth curve fitting showed the linear relationship between MHR, LHR and infertility. The results of subgroup analysis demonstrated that the correlation between infertility odds and MHR, LHR. In the population under 30 years, MHR and LHR were more prominent.
conclusionFemale infertility prevalence is positively correlated with elevated MHR and LHR, suggesting that they may be potential indicators for evaluating the association with female infertility.
