Review in Current cardiology reports, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 33 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

purpose of the reviewIdentification of loci and common single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that have modest effects on plasma lipids have been used to confirm or refute the causal role of lipid traits in the development of coronary heart disease (CHD), and as tools to identify individuals with polygenic hypercholesterolemia. RECENT

findingsSeveral groups have reported on the use of SNP scores in distinguishing individuals with a clinical diagnosis of familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) with a monogenic or polygenic etiology. We review evidence that those with monogenic FH have worse prognosis and discuss the possible mechanisms for this and their management. Individuals with a clinical phenotype of FH and a monogenic cause are at greater risk of CHD than those where no causative mutation can be found. The patients with polygenic hypercholesterolemia would not require elaborate cascade screening or secondary care input for their management.
