The association between lipid ratios and type 2 diabetes mellitus in middle-aged and older Chinese adults: A nationwide prospective cohort study (STROBE).
Observational study in Medicine, 2026. 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
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), as a noncommunicable chronic disease, poses a significant threat to human health. This study aims to investigate the relationship between lipid ratios and T2DM. The China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study served as the data source for this research. The associations between lipid ratios - specifically, the non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (NHHR), remnant cholesterol to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (RC/HDL-C) ratio, triglyceride to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (TG/HDL-C) ratio, total cholesterol to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (TC/HDL-C) ratio, and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C/HDL-C) ratio - and T2DM were analyzed using logistic regression analysis. Restricted cubic splines were employed to explore potential nonlinear relationships. Receiver operating characteristic analysis was utilized to assess the predictive value of lipid ratios for T2DM. A total of 7199 participants were included in this study. After adjusting for various factors, a positive association was identified between NHHR, RC/HDL-C ratio, TC/HDL-C ratio, TG/HDL-C ratio, and LDL-C/HDL-C ratio, with odds ratios of 3.34, 2.45, 3.34, 2.75, and 2.92, respectively. Nonlinear relationships were observed between NHHR, RC/HDL-C ratio, TC/HDL-C ratio, TG/HDL-C ratio, and LDL-C/HDL-C ratio and the incidence of T2DM. This study demonstrates that lipid ratios are associated with an increased risk of T2DM. This result provides a basis for the early identification of T2DM and identify novel targets for its prevention and early intervention.
