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

Although lowering low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol with statins can substantially reduce cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, many treated patients retain a residual risk for cardiovascular events. Low levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol may underpin this residual risk and may represent an additional target for intervention. Several new therapies for substantially increasing HDL cholesterol levels are under investigation, including cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) inhibitors, apolipoprotein A-I mimetics and recombinant HDL, liver X receptor (LXR) agonists, and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) agonists. Combining new HDL cholesterol-elevating agents with existing LDL cholesterol-lowering agents may improve the cardiovascular risk reductions currently attainable.
