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.

Abstract

backgroundIt is not known whether the concentration of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol is related to renal function in statin-treated patients. We therefore investigated whether HDL cholesterol levels predicted renal function in atorvastatin-treated patients in the TNT (Treating to New Targets) trial. METHODS AND

resultsA total of 9542 participants were included in this analysis. Renal function was assessed by estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). HDL cholesterol levels at month 3 were used as this is the time point at which on-treatment HDL cholesterol levels became stable. Among 6319 participants with a normal eGFR (≥60 mL/min per 1.73 m

conclusionsIn patients treated with atorvastatin, higher HDL cholesterol levels were associated with lower risk of eGFR decline in patients with normal eGFR at baseline. However, further study is needed to establish whether there is any causal relationship between HDLs and renal function. CLINICAL
