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 intends to highlight selected cardiovascular disease (CVD) prevention studies presented at the 2019 European Society of Cardiology (ESC) Congress. RECENT

findingsResults from the Inclisiran for Subjects with ASCVD or ASCVD-risk Equivalent and Elevated Low-density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (ORION-11) trial validate inclisiran's ability to significantly lower low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels in at-risk individuals on a background of maximally tolerated statin therapy. The EVOlocumab for Early Reduction of LDL-cholesterol Levels in Patients With Acute Coronary Syndromes (EVOPACS) trial provide additional support that a PCSK9 inhibitor can be initiated safely and effectively early after an acute coronary syndrome. A sub-study of the Evaluation of Cardiovascular Outcomes After an Acute Coronary Syndrome During Treatment With Alirocumab (ODYSSEY OUTCOMES) trial provides further support for stratification of secondary prevention patients to help define the magnitude of risk reduction associated with PCSK9 inhibitor therapy. A post hoc analysis from the Aspirin in Reducing Events in the Elderly (ASPREE) trial suggest that any benefits associated with aspirin utilizing a risk-based approach are overwhelmed by increased bleeding risk. In a large retrospective cohort study of patients with diabetes mellitus and obesity, the addition of metabolic (weight loss) surgery to standard care led to greater improvement in CVD outcomes, weight loss, and glycemic control. Results from the Prospective Urban Rural Epidemiology (PURE) study demonstrate that while hypertension and dyslipidemia exert additive lifelong effects on CVD risk, other less established risk factors such as low education, household pollution, and poor diet also have a strong impact on CVD outcomes, especially in middle- and low-income countries. Finally, in the Heart Outcomes Prevention and Evaluation (HOPE) 4 trial, a comprehensive model of care adapted to address multiple barriers of specific communities led to substantial improved blood pressure (BP) control, medication use, and adherence. A number of studies presented at the 2019 ESC Congress reinforced the value of preventative interventions in CVD risk reduction.
