Case report of familial hypercholesterolemia with internal carotid neck swelling.
Article in Journal of family medicine and primary care, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Familial hypercholesterolemia is a multi-gene disorder affecting 1 in 200-500 individual which is characterized by increased level of total cholesterol and low density lipoprotein (LDL) which deposit cholesterol reach protein leading to xanthomas, corneal arcus and prone to develop risk for atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease. 11 year female, born of consanguineous marriage attended with yellowish patches (Xanthelasma) bilaterally present over upper eyelid, buttock since 5-6 years. In family history younger girl along with both parents has Xanthelasma. In investigations, routine blood, urine and ECG& ECHO was normal except lipid profile of patient and sibling was abnormal. Child was treated with atorvastatin and dietary advice. In follow up after 3 month, child had complained of neck pain and swelling to left side. Then USG neck and Color Doppler showed reduced diastolic flow of left ICA and type two plaques and type 111 plaque in Rt common carotid artery. Anti-platelets was added and referred to cardiologist for coronary angiography which showed LAD - proximal mid distal diffuse plaque, LCX- proximal eccentric plaque. This case highlights the significance of conscious and proactive genetic screening for familial hypercholesterolemia especially in consanguineous marriage, to diagnose, treat and prevent mortality with premature coronary artery disease.
