Dyslipidemia in South Asian patients.
Article in Current atherosclerosis reports, 2007. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 27 papers.
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.
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
South Asians around the globe have the highest rates of coronary artery disease (CAD). These rates are 50% to 300% higher than other populations, with a higher risk at younger ages. These high rates of CAD are accompanied by low or similar rates of major traditional risk factors. The prevalence of diabetes is three to six times higher among South Asians than Europeans, Americans, and other Asians but does not explain the "South Asian Paradox." A genetic predisposition to CAD, mediated by high levels of lipoprotein(a), markedly magnifies the adverse effects of traditional risk factors related to lifestyle and best explains the South Asian Paradox. Although the major modifiable risk factors do not fully explain the excess burden of CAD, they are doubly important and remain the foundation of preventive and therapeutic strategies in this population. A more aggressive approach to preventive therapy, especially dyslipidemia, at an earlier age and at a lower threshold is clearly warranted.
