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

Dyslipidemia is a primary, critical risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Therefore, evaluating the trends in lipid profiles is crucial for the development of health policies and programs. We studied trends in lipid profiles in Korean adults over an 11-year period according to the use of lipid-lowering medications through age-specific analysis. A total of 73,890 participants were included in the Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey III (2005)-VI (2013-2015). The proportion of participants on lipid-lowering medications has increased. This trend was apparent in age groups of over 40 years in both men and women. Lipid-lowering medications successfully reduced mean total cholesterol (TC), but there was no favorable trend in TC in participants not taking lipid-lowering medication in both men and women. Unlike men, triglyceride and non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL) decreased in women without lipid-lowering medications. In age-specific hypercholesterolemia, the prevalence of hypercholesterolemia significantly increased in the age groups of 30-59 and 30-49 years in men and women without lipid-lowering medications, respectively. Meanwhile, mean HDL-C levels increased over the 11-year period regardless of lipid-lowering drug use in both men and women. These analyses identified an upward trend in TC and HDL-C over the 11-year period.
