Changes in attainment of lipid goals by general practitioners and specialists in patients at high cardiovascular risk in Hungary during 2004-2008.
Article in Archives of medical science : AMS, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
introductionLipid-lowering therapy should achieve target levels. We assessed the change of the achievement of targets and the mean low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels in high-risk Hungarian patients. MATERIAL AND
methodsSix studies performed with patients of general practitioners (GPs) and specialists between 2004 and 2008 were evaluated: 9,508 patients from GPs and 2809 from specialist practices (total 12,317).
resultsDuring this 4-year period the LDL-C level decreased by 0.73 mmol/l and the LDL-C goal achievement rate increased from 14 to 32% in patients treated by GPs. LDL-C showed a decrease of 0.48 mmol/l and the goal achievement rate changed from 20 to 43% in patients treated by specialists. In the majority of the patients not achieving the LDL-C goal (57% for specialists and 89% for GPs) there was no modification in the current therapy. In addition to emphasizing the priority of LDL-C lowering, we should also strive for residual risk reduction, which means raising high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and lowering triglyceride levels. There was no significant improvement in HDL-C or triglyceride levels during the examined period.
conclusionMore attention needs to be paid to changing treatment of patients to achieve target levels.
