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

Background: Pemafibrate is a potent selective peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α modulator. Whether this agent favorable modulates atherosclerosis Case Description: A 75-year-old gentleman was hospitalized due to peripheral artery disease, which was treated by endovascular treatment. One year later, non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) occurred and severe stenosis at his proximal segment of right coronary artery received primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Due to his suboptimal control of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) level with moderate intensity statin, high-intensity one (20 mg atorvastatin) and 10 mg ezetimibe were commenced, which enabled to achieve very low LDL-C level (50 mg/dL). However, he required additional PCI due to progression of left circumflex artery one year after NSTEMI. Despite his optimally controlled LDL-C level (46 mg/dL), near-infrared spectroscopy and intravascular (NIRS/IVUS) imaging after PCI visualized the presence of lipid-rich plaque [maximum 4-mm lipid-core burden index (LCBI Conclusions: A delipidation of coronary atheroma, accompanied by greater plaque calcification was observed after the commencement of pemafibrate. This finding highlights potential anti-atherosclerotic benefit of pemafibrate use in patients receiving a statin.
