Variation in Child Serum Cholesterol and Prevalence of Familiar Hypercholesterolemia: The Health Oriented Pedagogical Project (HOPP).
Article in Global pediatric health, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Early stages of atherosclerosis may develop in childhood due to hyperlipidemia. The aims are to investigate the prevalence of familiar hypercholesterolemia in 6 to 12-year-old children and to study the deviation in cholesterol measures. Anthropometric data and venous blood were collected from children participating in the Health Oriented Pedagogical Project (HOPP). Out of 18 children with TC > 6.0 mmol/L, 15 were tested genetically and none diagnosed with FH. The prevalence of TC > 6.0 mmol/L declined from 1.3% in 2015 to 0.5% in 2016. The mean TC was 4.30 mmol/L both years, which is lower than in earlier studies. Usage of a single TC measurement and a threshold of TC > 6.0 mmol/L in screening children for FH, may not be a good screening strategy. While lipid values have a good reliability across 2 measurements, there are variations in individual TC levels across 1 year.
