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

Background: The apolipoprotein B to apolipoprotein A1 (ApoB/A1) ratio has emerged as a superior lipid marker for cardiovascular risk assessment. This study aimed to develop and validate a nomogram incorporating the ApoB/A1 ratio for predicting major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods: This retrospective cohort study included 2459 patients undergoing PCI, randomly allocated to training (n=1721) and validation (n=738) cohorts. LASSO regression and multivariable Cox regression were used for variable selection and model development. Model performance was evaluated using C-index, calibration curves, and decision curve analysis. Results: During a median follow-up of 33.8 months, MACE occurred in 187 patients (7.6%). The ApoB/A1 ratio was independently associated with MACE (HR 1.12 per 0.1 increase, 95% CI 1.06-1.19, Conclusion: The ApoB/A1 ratio may be an independent predictor of MACE in CAD patients after PCI. The developed nomogram showed promising performance for risk prediction and stratification in this retrospective cohort. External validation in prospective studies is warranted before clinical implementation.
