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) belong to the nuclear receptor superfamily of ligand-dependent transcription factors. LXRs are activated by oxysterols, metabolites of cholesterol, and therefore act as intracellular sensors of this lipid. There are two LXR genes (α and β) that display distinct tissue/cell expression profiles. LXRs interact with regulatory sequences in target genes as heterodimers with retinoid X receptor. Such direct targets of LXR actions include important genes implicated in the control of lipid homeostasis, particularly reverse cholesterol transport. In addition, LXRs attenuate the transcription of genes associated with the inflammatory response indirectly by transrepression. In this review, we describe recent evidence that both highlights the key roles of LXRs in atherosclerosis and inflammation and provides novel insights into the mechanisms underlying their actions. In addition, we discuss the major limitations of LXRs as therapeutic targets for the treatment of atherosclerosis and how these are being addressed.
