'Use of lipid-lowering therapy: the guidelines, the drugs or the patient?'
Article in European heart journal supplements : journal of the European Society of Cardiology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
The current step up approach in the therapy of dyslipidemias aims to reduce the amount of LDL cholesterol below a threshold that varies according to the patient's risk category, with a pharmacological approach that sees statins as a fundamental cornerstone. Although absolutely functional in reducing cardiovascular events, this therapeutic algorithm does not yet take into consideration the innumerable phenotypic variables that we can find in dyslipidemic subjects. The ever finer understanding of the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying dyslipidemias in combination with the novelties obtained through DNA genotyping will allow, in the near future, the development of a 'tailor-made' therapy for each category of patients. This article will summarize the most recent evidence regarding the therapy of dyslipidemias, with particular attention to the concept of cumulative exposure and some hypotheses on possible initial therapeutic proposals in patients with diabetes, vasculopathy, with hypertriglyceridaemia and with high levels of Lp (a).
