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.

Abstract

Statins inhibit cholesterol synthesis and are effective in lowering total cholesterol levels in plasma or serum due to reductions in low-density lipoprotein and very low-density lipoproteins, as well as reducing progression of coronary atherosclerosis, coronary heart disease, and stroke morbidity and mortality. These agents also modestly raise levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol and its major protein, apolipoprotein (apo) A-I. The more effective statins can also raise the levels of large alpha-1 HDL particles as assessed by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. High levels of these particles promote reverse cholesterol transport and protect against coronary heart disease and progression of coronary atherosclerosis. The mechanism whereby statins alter HDL and its subspecies appears to be due to reduction of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins, with a secondary decrease in cholesteryl ester transfer protein activity, and less transfer of HDL cholesterol to triglyceride-rich lipoprotein acceptor particles. Increasingly, statins will be combined with other agents such as ezetimibe, fibrates, niacin, and cholesteryl ester transfer protein inhibitors to optimize the entire lipoprotein profile to alter not only low-density lipoprotein, but also HDL, triglycerides, lipoprotein(a), and C-reactive protein, and also to reduce cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.
