New and emerging data from clinical trials of statins.
Review in Current atherosclerosis reports, 2004. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Recent clinical trials of statins have clearly demonstrated the benefit of statin therapy in preventing both coronary and cerebral vascular events. These benefits have been demonstrated to be present without reference to older age, sex, or comorbid conditions, including hypertension and diabetes. Future trials will test the value of more aggressive low-density lipoprotein cholesterol lowering, the value of immediate statin intervention during acute coronary syndromes, the role of cholesterol lowering with or without angioplasty, and the role of cholesterol lowering in stroke prevention.
