The Current Evidence for Lipid Management in Patients with Lower Extremity Peripheral Artery Disease: What Is the Therapeutic Target?
Review in Current cardiology reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. 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
purpose of reviewThere is a lack of consistency among the ACC/AHA and ESC Guidelines on the treatment of patients with lower extremity PAD to a targeted LDL-c level. A review of the current guidelines, as well as the evidence that exists for use of various lipid-lower therapies in patients with PAD, is needed to guide clinical practice and to examine the current gaps in evidence that exist. RECENT
findingsThere is evidence that statins and PCSK9 inhibitors reduce the risks of major adverse cardiovascular and limb events in patients with PAD. Most statin and non-statin trials have examined the association of LLT use with clinical outcomes, and not the association between the degree of LDL-c lowering and the reduction in risk of clinical outcomes. As such, there is a lack of agreement between the American and European PAD Guidelines over whether to treat patients with PAD to a targeted LDL-c goal. Both statins and PCSK9 inhibitors have been shown to reduce the risk of major cardiovascular and limb events in patients with PAD. Further research is needed to determine if target driven LDL-c lowering is associated with improved outcomes in patients with PAD.
