Paradoxical Long-Term Impact Between Serum Apolipoprotein E and High-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol in Patients Undergoing Percutaneous Coronary Intervention.

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
aimApolipoprotein E (ApoE) strongly affects arteriosclerosis but has atheroprotective effects in combination with high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C). The impact of the quantitative relationship between serum ApoE and HDL-C levels in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) remains unclear.
methodsA total of 3632 consecutive patients who underwent their first intervention between 2000 and 2016 were included. They were categorized into normal and abnormal HDL-C groups based on the normal HDL-C value, and each group was subdivided into high and low ApoE subgroups based on the group-specific median ApoE value. We evaluated the incidence of major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE), including cardiovascular death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, non-fatal stroke, and all-cause deathResults: During a 6.4-year follow-up, 419 patients developed MACCE and 570 patients died. The interaction term between ApoE levels and HDL-C status in MACCE and all-cause death proved to be statistically significant. Kaplan-Meier analysis revealed that the cumulative incidence of MACCE was significantly higher for elevated pre-procedural ApoE levels than for reduced preprocedural ApoE levels in the normal HDL-C group. Conversely, the cumulative incidence of MACCE was significantly higher for reduced pre-procedural ApoE levels than for elevated pre-procedural ApoE levels in the abnormal HDL-C group. After adjustment for important covariates, multivariable Cox hazard analysis revealed that the serum ApoE level was a strongly independent predictor of MACCE; this was inversely related in both groups.
conclusionsSerum ApoE levels may have a paradoxical impact on the future cardiovascular risk depending on the HDL-C status in patients with CAD.
