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

Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is an autosomal dominant monogenic disorder characterized by elevated levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and an increased risk of premature coronary artery disease (CAD). Recently, it has been shown that a high polygenic risk score (PRS) could be an independent risk factor for CAD in FH patients of European ancestry. However, it is uncertain whether PRS is also useful for risk stratification of FH patients in East Asia. We recruited and genotyped clinically diagnosed FH (CDFH) patients from the Kanazawa University Mendelian Disease FH registry and controls from the Shikamachi Health Improvement Practice genome cohort in Japan. We calculated PRS from 3.6 million variants of each participant (imputed from the 1000 Genome phase 3 Asian dataset) for LDL-C (PRS
