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

Hepatic abundance of the low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) is a critical determinant of circulating plasma LDL cholesterol levels and hence development of coronary artery disease. The sterol-responsive E3 ubiquitin ligase inducible degrader of the LDLR (IDOL) specifically promotes ubiquitination and subsequent lysosomal degradation of the LDLR and thus controls cellular LDL uptake. IDOL contains an extended N-terminal FERM (4.1 protein, ezrin, radixin, and moesin) domain, responsible for substrate recognition and plasma membrane association, and a second C-terminal RING domain, responsible for the E3 ligase activity and homodimerization. As IDOL is a putative lipid-lowering drug target, we investigated the molecular details of its substrate recognition. We produced and isolated full-length IDOL protein, which displayed high autoubiquitination activity. However,
