Efficacy of oral rosuvastatin intervention on HDL and its associated proteins in men with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Article in Endocrine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 3 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
purposeHigh-density lipoprotein (HDL) undergoes structural and functional modification in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). There are limited data on effect of rosuvastatin on HDL-associated proteins and the antiatherogenic effects of rosuvastatin. The present study intended to study the efficacy of rosuvastatin intervention on HDL-associated proteins and its other antiatherogenic effects in men with T2DM.
methodsMen with T2DM on oral antidiabetic treatment, with LDL-C levels > 75 mg/dL and willing for rosuvastatin intervention (20 mg/day orally for a period of 12 weeks), were included. Fasting glucose, lipid profile were measured using standard methods. Oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL), oxidized HDL (oxHDL), paraoxonase-1 (PON-1), tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT) in serum were measured by ELISA; serum myeloperoxidase (MPO) by spectrophotometric method and cholesterol efflux by fluorometric assay. Carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT) measurement to assess vascular health status was done using doppler.
resultsRosuvastatin produced a significant decrease (p < 0.05) in lipids (total cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL-C); oxidative stress (oxLDL, oxHDL, MPO); inflammation (TNF-α); LCAT concentration; cIMT; significant increase in antiatherogenic HDL and cholesterol efflux (p < 0.05) and no change in apoA-I levels from baseline to 12 weeks of follow-up. A decrease in MPO activity was found to be independently associated with an increase in cholesterol efflux.
conclusionsPost intervention there is a quantitative and qualitative improvement in HDL, which helps in its reverse cholesterol transport (RCT) and antioxidant functions. Improvement in HDL functions and suppression of inflammation by rosuvastatin lead to regression in cIMT, which is beneficial in decreasing the progression of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in men with diabetes.
