Review in Current atherosclerosis reports, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

Advanced lipid testing has been suggested by some experts to identify patients with substantial residual risk for more aggressive targeting of lifestyle and pharmacologic therapies. It measures the subpopulation of lipoproteins and apolipoproteins, which include lipoprotein (a), apolipoprotein A-I, and apolipoprotein B, and measures of lipoprotein particle composition such as LDL particle (LPL-P) and HDL particle (HDL-P) number and size. Obesity is associated with smaller LDL-P and HDL-P sizes. Moderate weight loss via fasting/calorie restriction is associated with LDL-P size increase, whereas moderate weight loss via endurance exercise is associated with HDL-P size increase. Diets high in carbohydrates are associated with a more atherogenic advanced lipoprotein profile characterized by smaller LDL-P and HDL-P sizes. In summary, lifestyle changes such as weight loss, exercise, and dietary modification correlate with improvement in the profile of advanced lipoproteins. Regrettably, therapies targeting HDL and HDL composition have been disappointing to date.
