Monogenic Versus Polygenic Forms of Hypercholesterolemia and Cardiovascular Risk: Are There Any Differences?
Review in Current atherosclerosis reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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 reviewCommon DNA variants with small effects work together to create susceptibility to polygenic hypercholesterolemia. Some clinicians wonder whether patients with polygenic hypercholesterolemia have less severe clinical features compared to patients with monogenic familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) caused by rare deleterious variants. RECENT
findingsStudies performed in cohorts of patients with both monogenic and polygenic hypercholesterolemia have assessed lipid levels, non-invasive markers of atherosclerosis, and clinical end points, including major adverse cardiovascular events. The totality of data suggests a gradient across genotypes. Specifically, individuals with polygenic hypercholesterolemia have deleterious phenotypes that are intermediate in severity between those in patients with monogenic hypercholesterolemia and in control subjects. Although clinical variables in patients with polygenic hypercholesterolemia are less severe than in those with monogenic hypercholesterolemia, cardiovascular risk is still very high in these patients compared to controls. Patients with polygenic hypercholesterolemia must be treated assertively.
