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

objectiveTo explore the relationship between ApoE gene polymorphism and clinical efficacy of statins on lipidemia.

methodsPeripheral venous blood was obtained from 220 patients with hyperlipidemia who were admitted to the outpatient department of our hospital. The potential relationship between ApoE gene polymorphism and clinical effect of statins was analyzed.

resultsIn the three isomers (E2, E3, E4) of ApoE, expression level of ApoE protein in ApoE4 gene carriers was significantly different from that in E2 or E3 gene carriers (both P<0.05). At the same time, both the decrease rate of total cholesterol (TC) in blood lipid and low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and the rise rate of high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) in ApoE4 carriers after taking statins were much lower than those in non-ApoE4 patients (P<0.05).

conclusionApoE gene polymorphism is associated with hyperlipidemia and has certain influence on the clinical efficacy of statins in treatment of hyperlipidemia.
