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 reviewDyslipidemia is a casual risk factor for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). There is an unmet need for more effective treatments for patients with dyslipidemias. Angiopoietin-like protein 3 (ANGPTL3) and ANGPTL8 play key roles in triglyceride trafficking and energy balance in humans. We review the functional role of these ANGPTL proteins in the regulation of lipoprotein metabolism, and recent clinical trials targeting ANGPTL3 and ANGPTL3/8 with monoclonal antibody and/or nucleic acid therapies, including antisense oligonucleotides and small interfering RNA. RECENT

findingsCumulative evidence supports the roles of ANGPTL3 and ANGPTL8 in lipid metabolism through inhibition of lipoprotein lipase and endothelial lipase activity. ANGPTL3 and ANGPTL3/8 inhibitors are effective in lowering plasma triglycerides and low-density lipoprotein (LDL)-cholesterol, with the possible advantage of raising high-density lipoprotein (HDL)-cholesterol with the inhibition of ANGPTL3/8. Therapeutic inhibition of ANGPTL3 and ANGPTL3/8 can lower plasma triglyceride and LDL-cholesterol levels possibly by lowering production and upregulating catabolism of triglyceride-rich lipoprotein and LDL particles. However, the effect of these novel agents on HDL metabolism remains unclear. The cardiovascular benefits of ANGPTL3 and ABGPTL3/8 inhibitors may also include improvement in vascular inflammation, but this requires further investigation.
