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

introductionCoronary Artery Disease (CAD) a multifactorial chronic heart disease and the most frequent cause of death and disabling symptoms worldwide, occurs due to the formation of atheromatous lipid rich plaques in the arteries. Statins, which inhibit cholesterol biosynthesis, have both pleiotropic and Low-Density Lipoprotein (LDL)-lowering properties. Atorvastatin is one of the choices for the primary and secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease and management of hypercholesterolaemia. However, there is a paucity of data regarding the changes in the DNA damage in patients with coronary atherosclerosis after statin use.

aimThe aim of the present study was to evaluate atorvastatin treatment efficacy on lipid profiles and DNA damage in CAD patients. MATERIALS AND

methodsThe current observational study was conducted on 180 CAD patients between November 2011 to December 2013 at Durgabai Deshmukh Hospital and Research Centre, Vidya Nagar, Hyderabad, India. Atorvastatin administered and blood samples were collected at index hospitalization and after 6 months statin therapy and lipid profiles and DNA damage was compared with 200 healthy control.

resultsLipid profiles and DNA damage were found to be significantly high (p < 0.01) in CAD patients before atorvastatin therapy compared to after 6 months statin therapy and healthy controls.

conclusionThe study suggests that atorvastatin might help in regression of lipid profile as well as DNA damage of CAD patients.
