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

Cardiovascular disease is the major cause of mortality worldwide and accounts for approximately 40% of all deaths. Dyslipidemia is one of the primary causes of atherosclerosis and effective interventions to correct dyslipidemia should form an integral component of any strategy aimed at preventing cardiovascular disease. Fibrates have played a major role in the treatment of hyperlipidemia for more than two decades. Fenofibrate is one of the most commonly used fibrates worldwide. Since fenofibrate was first introduced in clinical practice, a major drawback has been its low bioavailability when taken under fasting conditions. Insoluble Drug Delivery-Microparticle fenofibrate is a new formulation that has an equivalent extent of absorption under fed or fasting conditions. In this review, we will discuss the clinical pharmacology of fenofibrate, with particular emphasis on this novel formulation, as well as its lipid-modulating and pleiotropic actions. We will also analyze the major trial that evaluated fibrates for primary and secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease, the safety and efficacy profile of fibrate-statin combination treatment, and the current recommendations regarding the use of fibrates in clinical practice.
