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

purpose of reviewThis review aims to summarize and discuss the recent findings in the field of using HDL mimetics for the treatment of patients with coronary artery disease. RECENT

findingsFollowing the largely disappointing results with the cholesteryl ester transfer protein inhibitors, focus moved to HDL functionality rather than absolute HDL cholesterol values. A number of HDL/apoA-I mimicking molecules were developed, aiming to enhance reverse cholesterol transport that has been associated with an atheroprotective effect. Three HDL mimetics have made the step from bench-testing to clinical trials in humans and are discussed here: apoA-I Milano, CSL-112, and CER-001. Unfortunately, with the exception of CSL-112 where the results of the clinical trial are not yet known, none of the agents was able to demonstrate a clinical benefit. HDL mimetics have failed to date to prove a beneficial effect in clinical practice. Reverse cholesterol transport remains a challenging therapeutic pathway to be explored.
