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

purpose of reviewTo provide an insight into the new pharmacological options for the treatment of severe hypertriglyceridemia (sHTG). RECENT

findingssHTG is difficult to treat. The majority of the traditional pharmacological agents available have limited success in both robustly decreasing triglyceride levels and/or in reducing the incidence of acute pancreatitis (AP), the most severe complication of sHTG. Therapeutic options with novel mechanisms of action have been developed, such as antisense oligonucleotides (ASO) and small interfering RNA (siRNA) targeting APOC3 and ANGPTL3. The review discusses also 2 abandoned drugs for sHTG treatment, evinacumab and vupanorsen. The ASO targeting APOC3, volanesorsen, is approved for use in patients with familial chylomicronemia syndrome (FCS) in Europe. Olezarsen, an N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc)-conjugated ASO with the same target, seems to have a better safety and efficacy profile. siRNA targeting APOC3 and ANGPTL3, namely ARO-APOC3 and ARO-ANG3, are also promising for the treatment of sHTG. However, the ultimate clinical goal of any sHTG treatment, the decrease in the risk of AP, has not been definitively achieved till now by any pharmacotherapy, either approved or in development.
