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

Purpose: Whether lipid profiles influence functional recovery after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is unclear. This study investigated the association between the non-high-density lipoprotein to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (NHHR) and 90-day functional outcomes in patients with ICH. Patients and Methods: This single-center, prospective, observational cohort study enrolled 200 patients with acute ICH. Fasting blood samples were collected within 24 hours of admission for lipid profiling, and NHHR was calculated as (total cholesterol high-density lipoprotein cholesterol [HDL-C])/HDL-C. The primary outcome was functional status at 90 days, assessed using the modified Rankin Scale (mRS). Based on the mRS scores, patients were classified into two groups: favorable outcome (mRS ≤ 2, functional independence) and poor outcome (mRS > 2, functional dependence or death). Results: Of the 200 patients, 81 (40.5%) had poor outcomes at 90 days. The poor outcome group exhibited significantly lower baseline NHHR compared to the favorable outcome group (2.54 vs. 2.75, Conclusion: A higher baseline NHHR independently predicts favorable 90-day outcomes after ICH, supporting a "protective lipid paradox" distinct from ischemic stroke. As a simple and readily available biomarker, NHHR offers complementary prognostic information to established clinical scales and may aid early risk stratification.
