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

backgroundHyperlipidemia has become a common chronic disease worldwide in recent years. Studies have shown that hyperlipidemia patients, especially those with a high level of serum low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), have a significantly higher prevalence of atherosclerosis, leading to coronary heart disease. Previous basic experiments and clinical studies have shown that Qushi Huayu granules (QSHY) reduce blood lipids in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) accompanied by hyperlipidemia. However, the clinical efficacy of QSHY in patients with hyperlipidemia is still lacking. This study aims to investigate the effect and safety of QSHY for hyperlipidemia.

methodsThis is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. A total of 210 participants will be enrolled and randomized into the QSHY or placebo granules groups in equal proportions, who will receive treatment for 24 weeks. The primary outcome will be the change in LDL-C from baseline to week 12. Secondary outcomes will be changes in other serum lipids markers, life quality measuring health surveys, and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) pattern scale. All related tests will be measured at baseline, week 12, and week 24 after enrollment. Adverse events and the safety of intervention will be monitored and evaluated. DISCUSSION: We designed a clinical trial of hyperlipidemia management with QSHY, a TCM prescription. The results of this trial will present the efficacy and safety of QSHY in patients with hyperlipidemia.
