Association of Decreased Docosahexaenoic Acid Level After Statin Therapy and Low Eicosapentaenoic Acid Level with In-Stent Restenosis in Patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome.
Article in Journal of atherosclerosis and thrombosis, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
aimIt is speculated that statin therapy modulates the synthesis of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), including eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). However, the data available on the effects of statin therapy on the serum levels of PUFA and the subsequent impact on in-stent restenosis (ISR) in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) are limited.
methodsA total of 120 ACS patients who received emergent coronary stent implantation, follow-up coronary angiography to evaluate ISR, and new statin therapy were enrolled. We measured the serum levels of the PUFA and lipids at the onset of ACS and at the follow-up coronary angiography.
resultsThe follow-up coronary angiography revealed 38 ISR cases. New statin therapy significantly reduced the serum levels of DHA and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), while it did not affect EPA level. Single regression analysis revealed that a decreased serum level of LDL-C was associated with decreased DHA level. The multiple logistic regression analysis revealed that the decreased DHA level after statin therapy and low serum level of EPA on admission were determinants of prevalence of ISR.
conclusionStatin therapy decreased the serum level of DHA with a parallel reduction in LDL-C level in patients with ACS. Decreased DHA level after statin therapy and low EPA level on admission are risk factors for ISR, indicating that in patients with ACS, decreased serum levels of DHA may be a residual target for the prevention of ISR.
