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

The low-density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor is a transmembrane glycoprotein that mediates the binding and endocytosis of lipoproteins containing apolipoprotein B and E, especially the cholesterol-rich LDL. Mutations in the LDL receptor gene can produce dysfunctional LDL receptors and cause familial hypercholesterolemia. The expression of the LDL receptor gene is under an intriguing regulation by sterol and nonsterol mediators either at the transcriptional level or at the posttranscriptional level, both of which are linked to cell signaling pathways. Upregulation of liver LDL receptor expression is effective in treating hypercholesterolemia. In this review, we focus on the latest progress on the mechanisms and regulation of the LDL receptor gene expression.
