Meta-analysis of the Relation of Body Mass Index to Cardiovascular Outcomes in Patients Receiving Intensive Low-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol Lowering Therapy.
Synthesis in The American journal of cardiology, 2020. 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.
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
The impact of body mass index (BMI) on cardiovascular outcomes in patients receiving intensive low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) lowering therapy is uncertain. We performed meta-analysis of 29 randomized controlled trials using PubMed, Embase, and CENTRAL through April 2019. Therapies were grouped as more intensive LDL-C lowering therapy (statins, ezetimibe + statin or PCSK9 inhibitors) and less intensive LDL-C lowering therapy (less potent active control or placebo). Random effects meta-regressions and meta-analyses were performed to evaluate association of BMI with cardiovascular endpoints. In 265,766 patients, for every 1 kg/m
