PCSK-9 inhibitors: a new direction for the future treatment of ischemic stroke.
Review in Frontiers in pharmacology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Ischemic stroke, the most prevalent and serious manifestation of cerebrovascular disease, is the main cause of neurological problems that require hospitalization, resulting in disability and death worldwide. Currently, clinical practice focuses on the effective management of blood lipids as a crucial approach to preventing and treating ischemic stroke. In recent years, a great breakthrough in ischemic stroke treatment has been witnessed with the emergence and use of a novel lipid-lowering medication, Proprotein convertase subtilisin kexin type 9 (PCSK9) inhibitor. And its remarkable potential for reducing the occurrence of ischemic stroke is being acknowledged. This article aims to provide a comprehensive review, encompassing the association between PCSK9 and the heightened risk of ischemic stroke, the mechanisms, and the extensive evidence supporting the proven efficacy of PCSK9 inhibitors in clinical practice. Through this present study, we can gain deeper insights into the utilization and impact of PCSK9 inhibitors in treating ischemic stroke.
