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

Demonstration of a direct relationship between plasma triglyceride (TG) concentration and atherosclerosis has proven difficult due to confounding variables that accompany elevated plasma TG, such as other dyslipidemias, obesity, and type 2 diabetes. However, human genetic studies have provided evidence suggesting a causal link between plasma TG and cardiovascular risk. Analyses in human patients with hypertriglyceridemia (HTG) also provides insight into the relationship between genetic variation, predisposition to elevated plasma TG, and risk of subsequent cardiovascular disease. Here, we review recent key studies that have contributed to our understanding of the genetic determinants of plasma TG concentration, including HTG susceptibility and phenotypic heterogeneity, and discuss our maturing model of the allelic and phenotypic spectrum of plasma TG.
