Triglyceride and Small Dense LDL-Cholesterol in Patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundSmall dense LDL-cholesterol is an established risk factor for atherosclerosis but is not routinely measured in daily practice. The association between small dense LDL-cholesterol and triglyceride, which in turn is routinely measured, in patients with acute coronary syndrome remains unknown.
methodsConsecutive patients with acute coronary syndrome who were admitted to our institute were prospectively included, and serum samples were obtained on admission. The association between small dense LDL-cholesterol and triglyceride was investigated.
resultsAmong 55 patients (median 71 years old, 64% men), median (interquartile range) small dense LDL-cholesterol was 23.6 (17.0, 36.0) and triglyceride was 101 (60, 134) mg/dL. Triglyceride level correlated with small dense LDL-cholesterol (
conclusionsTriglyceride level was a major determinant of small dense LDL-cholesterol in patients with acute coronary syndrome. Triglyceride level might be a useful and practical biomarker for risk stratification for patients with acute coronary syndrome together with body mass index.
