Impact of obesity on low density lipoprotein plasmatic levels 6 weeks after an acute coronary syndrome.
Article in Cardiovascular endocrinology & metabolism, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Introduction: Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death. One of the main factors is obesity, which is on the rise. LDL levels below 0.55 g/L are recommended after ACS. To date, there are no specific recommendations for obese subjects. Objective: The primary objective was to assess the impact of obesity on LDL-c target attainment 6 weeks after initiation of statin therapy in subjects admitted for ACS. The secondary objectives were to assess the evolution of cholesterol levels and to characterize lipid-lowering treatments. Methods: The single-center observational study took place at Montpellier University Hospital and included patients admitted to the ICU for ACS not treated with statins (T0). Biological tests were performed at 6 weeks. At 3 months, a telephone call was made by two pharmacists to collect the results of their biological work-up and any therapeutic modifications. Results: The results were analyzed on 286 patients. A total of 39.5% were overweight and 22.7% obese. After hospitalization, 95.4% were prescribed statins. At 6 weeks, LDL cholesterol averaged 1.58 mmol/L, lower in subjects with a BMI greater than 30 kg/m Conclusion: Despite high-intensity statin prescription, the target was achieved by 67.6% of obese subjects and 44.8% of subjects with a BMI of less than 30 kg/m
