Advances in diabetes for the millennium: diabetes and cholesterol.
Review in MedGenMed : Medscape general medicine, 2004. 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
The development of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase inhibitors has made it possible to significantly lower cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) levels. A moderate reduction of LDL levels has resulted in substantial decreases on the order of 30% to 40% in cardiovascular mortality. It is yet unknown whether a reduction of cholesterol levels below normal levels can counteract the increased cardiovascular mortality associated with diabetes. Studies thus far do demonstrate at least as much benefit in diabetic as in nondiabetic patients from cholesterol-lowering therapy. Pharmacologic therapy does have side effects. It is important to consider possible adverse effects as we progressively increase the dosage levels of various agents to meet the continually dropping LDL target levels in diabetic patients.
