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

Atherogenic response to dietary fat and cholesterol challenge was evaluated in mice lacking both the LDL receptor (LDLr(-/-)) and apoA-I (apoA-I(-/-)) gene, LDLr(-/-)/apoA-I(-/-) or double-knockout mice. Gender- and age-matched LDLr(-/-)/apoA-I(-/-) mice were fed a diet consisting of 0.1% cholesterol and 10% palm oil for 16 weeks and compared to LDLr(-/-) mice or single-knockout mice. The LDLr(-/-) mice showed a 6- to 7-fold increase in total plasma cholesterol (TPC) compared to their chow-fed mice counterparts, while LDLr(-/-)/apoA-I(-/-) mice showed only a 2- to 3-fold increase in TPC compared to their chow-fed controls. This differential response to the atherogenic diet was unanticipated, since chow-fed LDLr(-/-) and LDLr(-/-)/apoA-I(-/-) mice began the study with similar LDL levels and differed primarily in their HDL concentration. The 6-fold diet-induced increase in TPC observed in the LDLr(-/-) mice occurred mainly in VLDL/LDL and not in HDL. Mid-study plasma samples taken after 8 weeks of diet feeding showed that LDLr(-/-) mice had TPC concentrations approximately 60% of their 16-week level, while the LDLr(-/-)/apoA-I(-/-) mice had reached 100% of their 16-week TPC concentration after only 8 weeks of diet. Male LDLr(-/-) mice showed similar aortic cholesterol levels to male LDLr(-/-)/apoA-I(-/-) mice despite a 4-fold higher VLDL/LDL concentration in the LDLr(-/-) mice. A direct comparison of the severity of aortic atherosclerosis between female LDLr(-/-) and LDLr(-/-)/apoA-I(-/-) mice was compromised due to the loss of female LDLr(-/-)/apoA-I(-/-) mice between 10 and 14 weeks into the study. Diet-fed female and, with time, male LDLr(-/-)/apoA-I(-/-) mice suffered from severe ulcerated cutaneous xanthomatosis. This condition, combined with a complete depletion of adrenal cholesterol, manifested in fatal wasting of the affected mice. In conclusion, LDLr(-/-) and LDLr(-/-)/apoA-I(-/-) mice showed dramatic TPC differences in response to dietary fat and cholesterol challenge, while despite these differences both genotypes accumulated similar levels of aortic cholesterol.
