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

Patients with aortocoronary bypass surgery generally have a severe, advanced coronary atherosclerosis. An intensive risk-factor management should be of special importance in these patients. However, cholesterol treatment goals are the same for operated or non-operated patients with coronary artery disease. Effective cholesterol lowering does not only decrease the progression of atherosclerosis in native coronary vessels but also helps to prevent the development of atherosclerosis in venous bypass grafts. Clinical studies demonstrated that this leads to an improvement of clinical endpoints. Unfortunately we know from registries, that even in bypass patients recommended guidelines for cholesterol lowering are often not followed.
