Prevention of Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease in Children with Familial Hypercholesterolemia.
Review in Current atherosclerosis 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 reviewFamilial hypercholesterolemia (FH), a common inherited disorder of LDL-C metabolism that predisposes to premature cardiovascular disease, is underdiagnosed. Despite recommendations for screening all children and initiation of lipid-lowering medication beginning at 8-10 years of age, adherence to guidelines is low. Most individuals with FH are inadequately treated, especially women and children. The purpose of this review is to discuss current literature and recommendations for the diagnosis and treatment of heterozygous FH (HeFH) in the pediatric population. RECENT
findingsTwenty-year outcome data demonstrate lower rates of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) related events and death in individuals with FH who were treated with statins from childhood, compared to those who initiated statins in adulthood. While diagnosis rates of FH are slowly improving, most clinicians do not adhere to recommendations for cholesterol screening in youth. Identifying youth with FH offers the opportunity for early intervention to prevent ASCVD and identify affected relatives through reverse cascade screening.
