The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.

the triglyceride / HDL is excellent it's still fallible of course but it's vastly better than LDL
I think there's one Harvard study from the 90s pretty solid perspective study and between the top quartile and the bottom quarter or quartile of traig / HDL there was the 16 times risk difference
there are multiple studies that show this that the triglyceride HDL ratio which is
the triglyceride to HDL ratio is a way better predictor for cardiovascular risk than LDL is.
