The relationship between early-onset coronary artery disease and familial hypercholesterolemia: a cohort study based on the Hakka population in Meizhou, China.

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
backgroundThe low diagnosis and treatment rates of familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) have become a global issue. This study aims to explore the correlation between early-onset coronary artery disease (CAD) and FH in the Hakka population in Meizhou, Guangdong.
methodsClinical data of Hakka patients with early-onset CAD, admitted to the Meizhou People's Hospital from January 2023 to January 2024 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were categorized into an FH group and a non-FH group. Biochemical indicators, lipid levels, echocardiographic parameters, clinical phenotypes, and genetic typing of early-onset CAD patients in the Hakka population were analyzed for their correlation with FH.
resultsA total of 167 Hakka patients with early-onset CAD were included, among whom 22 patients had FH. The FH group showed lower triglyceride (TG) level [1.785 (1.40, 2.10) vs. 2.090 (1.80, 2.30), P = 0.002] and higher levels of total cholesterol (TC) [6.635 (5.60, 7.10) vs. 4.830 (4.00, 5.40), P<0.001], low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) [4.440 (3.90, 5.20) vs. 2.820 (2.40, 3.30), P<0.001], and apolipoprotein B (Apo B) [1.600 (1.30, 1.80) vs. 0.910 (0.70, 1.10), P<0.001]. FH was correlated with TG, TC, LDL-C and Apo B levels (r1 = -0.235; r2 = 0.441; r3 = 0.483; r4 = 0.538). TG is a risk factor while TC, LDL-C and Apo B are protective factors for FH.
conclusionThe incidence of FH is relatively high among early-onset CAD patients in the Hakka population in Meizhou. TG, TC, LDL-C, and Apo B levels are valuable in aiding clinical differential diagnosis of CAD patients with FH.
