New insights in the treatment of dyslipidemia: a focus on cardiovascular event reduction and the anti-atherosclerotic effects of atorvastatin.
Review in Current atherosclerosis reports, 2005. 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
The identification and treatment of dyslipidemia is a critical component of ongoing efforts to reduce the incidence of atherosclerotic disease in both men and women. Several recent large-scale atorvastatin trials provide a plethora of information that expands the current body of literature describing the pathophysiology of cardiovascular disease and the prevention of acute cardiovascular events. These trials demonstrate the benefit of statin therapy in a broad variety of patient populations, explore the clinical efficacy of more intensive statin regimens, and suggest that the pleiotropic effects of statins may contribute to cardiovascular endpoint reduction. In addition, these studies have challenged whether current guidelines for low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels provide optimal risk reduction for cardiovascular events. Additional studies with atorvastatin are underway to further explore the extent to which statins can provide cardiovascular benefits.
