Diagnosis and treatment of hyperhomocysteinemia.
Review in Current atherosclerosis reports, 2001. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Hyperhomocysteinemia has emerged as an important risk factor for cardiovascular disease. However, its place in clinical practice is somewhat unclear, due to the lack of clinical trials documenting the benefit of treatment on reducing cardiovascular events. Vitamin therapy, particularly with folic acid, reduces plasma homocysteine significantly and improves other surrogate markers of cardiovascular risk such as endothelial function. Although a consensus is lacking on the right approach to diagnosis and treatment of this risk factor, we have suggested an algorithm based on data from clinical studies. We are optimistic that such an approach will be helpful for the clinician until clinical trials, with cardiovascular events as endpoints, are completed.
