Review in Current atherosclerosis reports, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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 reviewAt the 2019 American College of Cardiology annual scientific sessions, major randomized clinical trials in cardiovascular disease (CVD) prevention were presented. RECENT

findingsThe CLEAR Wisdom trial examined the safety and efficacy of adding bempedoic acid to maximally tolerated statin for reducing low-density lipoprotein cholesterol. Post hoc analyses from the REDUCE-IT trial evaluated the efficacy of icosapent ethyl for lowering risk of total (first time and recurrent) CVD events. A sub-analysis of ODYSSEY OUTCOMES examined the effect of alirocumab on lipoprotein(a) lowering for reducing CVD risk. The CREOLE trial compared three different combination antihypertensive therapies for blood pressure lowering among black individuals in sub-Saharan Africa. The INFINITY trial examined the effect of intensive blood pressure control on progression of brain white matter changes and various components of mobility and cognitive function. Lastly, post hoc analyses from DECLARE-TIMI 58 evaluated the efficacy of dapagliflozin among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and heart failure or peripheral artery disease. These trials hold future promise for novel agents aimed at reducing CVD burden among high-risk patients who continue to experience CVD events despite treatment with currently available guideline-directed therapy.
