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

Liver X receptors (LXRs) are nuclear receptors that play a central role in cholesterol metabolism. When activated, LXRs induce a series of genes that are involved in cholesterol efflux, absorption, transport and excretion. In recent studies, LXRs have also been shown to play an important role in inflammatory signaling. LXR agonists show promise as potential therapeutics, given their anti-atherogenic and anti-inflammatory properties. The function of LXRs in cholesterol efflux and inflammatory signaling make them attractive as therapies for cardiovascular and inflammatory diseases.
