Homozygous Familial Hypercholesterolemia Treatment: New Developments.
Review in Current atherosclerosis reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 reviewHomozygous familial hypercholesterolaemia (HoFH) is characterized by marked elevation of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDLC) and premature atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. This is a review of novel pharmacological therapies to lower LDLC in patients with HoFH. RECENT
findingsNovel therapies can be broadly divided by whether their efficacy is dependent or independent of residual low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) function. Novel LDLR dependent therapies that reduce proprotein subtilisin kexin type 9 levels include monoclonal antibodies (alirocumab and evolocumab) and a small inhibitory RNA (inclisiran). LDLC reductions are highly variable and depend on residual LDLR function. Microsomal triglyceride inhibitors (lomitapide) and therapies that reduce angiopoietin like factor 3 (evinacumab and zodasiran) both reduce LDLC by approximately 50%, irrespective of residual LDLR function. Most patients with HoFH require multiple therapies to achieve LDLC targets. Better LDLC control with LDLR independent therapies is likely to improve the outlook for patients with HoFH while at the same time reducing the need for other therapies such as apheresis or hepatic transplantation.
