Article in PloS one, 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
BACKGROUND &
objectiveIn-stent restenosis (ISR) remains a major obstacle after drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD), in which dyslipidemia play important roles. The non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (NHHR) have emerged as potential markers of both lipid metabolism and atherosclerosis. However, the association between NHHR and ISR after DES implantation in patients with CHD remains unclear. Consequently, the objective of this study was to determine the association between NHHR and ISR and its predictive value among CHD patients after DES implantation.
methodsThe clinical data of 496 patients with CHD who underwent DES implantation in the Department of Cardiology of the First People 's Hospital of Kashgar from January 2019 to December 2024 were collected. All patients completed postoperative follow-up, with a median follow-up time of 6 months. Patients were divided into three groups based on NHHR tertiles: Q1 (25th percentile), Q2 (50th percentile), and Q3 (75th percentile). Baseline characteristics were compared among groups. Restricted cubic spline (RCS) plots were used to explore the association between NHHR and ISR. Binary logistic regression analysis was performed to identify independent risk factors for ISR. Finally, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were generated to evaluate the predictive performance of NHHR for ISR.
resultsThere were significant differences in age, total cholesterol (TC), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), stent length, number of stents and proportion of right coronary stent implantation in different NHHR groups (P < 0.05). RCS and logistic regression analyses revealed that NHHR and TC were independent risk factors for ISR (OR>1, P < 0.05). ROC curve analysis demonstrated that NHHR had superior predictive ability for ISR (AUC 0.702, 95% CI 0.630-0.775) compared to TC (AUC 0.639, 95% CI 0.564-0.714) and HDL-C (AUC 0.567, 95% CI 0.490-0.643).
conclusionNHHR and TC are independent risk factors for ISR after DES implantation in CHD patients. Compared to traditional lipid markers TC and HDL-C, NHHR exhibits superior predictive value for ISR and may serve as a key clinical indicator for risk stratification.
