Association of Carotid Atherosclerosis With Lipid Components in Asymptomatic Low-Income Chinese: A Population-Based Cross-Sectional Study.
Article in Frontiers in neurology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
Intima-media thickness is a non-invasive arterial marker of early-stage atherosclerosis. Identifying carotid plaque is a superior surrogate endpoint for assessing atherosclerotic lesions. The aim of this study was to investigate the association of carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) and carotid plaque with lipids among asymptomatic low-income rural residents in China. A total of 3,789 people aged ≥45 years without a history of stroke or cardiovascular disease were recruited to this study. B-mode ultrasonography was performed to measure CIMT and identify carotid plaque for early identification of atherosclerosis. Multivariate analysis was used to assess the association of blood lipid levels with atherosclerosis. The mean CIMT across our cohort was 567 μm. A linear regression analysis showed that low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and total cholesterol (TC) were risk factors for early-stage atherosclerosis; however, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and triglycerides protected against early-stage atherosclerosis after adjusting for potential risk factors (
