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

purpose of reviewWe have examined the evidence from recent human studies examining the role of apolipoprotein A-V in triglyceride-rich lipoprotein metabolism and cardiovascular disease risk. Special emphasis was placed on the evidence emerging from the association between genetic variability at the apolipoprotein A5 locus, lipid phenotypes and disease outcomes. Moreover, we address recent reports evaluating apolipoprotein A5 gene-environment interactions in relation to cardiovascular disease and its common risk factors. RECENT

findingsSeveral genetic association studies have continued to strengthen the position of APOA5 as a major gene that is involved in triglyceride metabolism and modulated by dietary factors and pharmacological therapies. Moreover, genetic variants at this locus have been significantly associated with both coronary disease and stroke risks. SUMMARY: Apolipoprotein A-V has an important role in lipid metabolism, specifically for triglyceride-rich lipoproteins. However, its mechanism of action is still poorly understood. Clinical significance at present comes largely from genetic studies showing a consistent association with plasma triglyceride concentrations. Moreover, the effects of common genetic variants on triglyceride concentrations and disease risk are further modulated by other factors such as diet, pharmacological interventions and BMI. Therefore, these genetic variants could be potentially used to predict cardiovascular disease risk and individualize therapeutic options to decrease cardiovascular disease risk.
